Explanation

Modeling (B) and building prototypes (D) are both discovery techniques that reduce uncertainty. Modeling lets teams specify system behavior structurally or behaviorally, converting ambiguous requirements into defined ones. Prototypes allow teams to test assumptions hands-on, so unknowns become knowns - both methods progressively lock in scope as understanding deepens.

A (Work Breakdown Structures) is wrong because WBS is a project management decomposition tool; it organizes known work but does not resolve what the solution should be. C (Adapting WIP limits) is wrong because WIP limits are a Lean flow-management technique - they control work throughput, not solution definition.

Memory tip: Think "M-P = Make it Precise." Modeling and Prototyping are the two hands-on ways to move Solution Intent from fuzzy to fixed - both produce tangible artifacts that replace guesses with decisions.
