Explanation

Brainstorming is the foundational information-gathering technique used during planning sessions to identify and collect risk-related information from a group. It encourages free-form idea generation from team members, stakeholders, and subject matter experts, making it ideal for surfacing a wide range of potential risks early in planning. Monte Carlo analysis (A) is a quantitative simulation tool, not an information-gathering technique. Updating the risk register (B) is an output activity, not a gathering technique. Cost and time estimating (D) is an estimation activity, not an information-gathering method. Brainstorming is explicitly listed in the PMBOK as a primary risk identification and information-gathering technique.
