Explanation
Brainstorming is the risk identification technique that uses a facilitator to guide a group session where participants freely generate a comprehensive list of potential risks. The key distinguishing characteristics are: (1) it involves a group of people, (2) a facilitator is used to manage the session, and (3) the goal is to generate as many ideas as possible without judgment. The Delphi Technique (B) uses anonymous questionnaires with expert consensus rounds - no group meeting or facilitator. Checklist Analysis (C) uses historical checklists, not idea generation. Expert Judgment (D) involves consulting individuals, not a facilitated group session.
