Explanation
Risk identification relies on structured elicitation and creative techniques. (A) Developing checklists from historical information leverages lessons learned from similar past projects, ensuring known risk categories aren't overlooked. (B) Interviews, meetings, and focus groups gather direct input from diverse stakeholders - critical when a large number of stakeholders are involved across unique business units. (D) Brainstorming encourages open, spontaneous idea generation, surfacing risks that structured methods might miss. Option C (assigning a separate risk manager per unit) is an organizational decision, not a risk identification action. Option E (qualitative/quantitative analyses) belongs to the risk analysis phase, which comes after identification.
