Explanation

The change control sub-phase typically includes activities like recreating and analyzing problems (B), estimating costs of changes (A), and determining the user interface impact (C) as part of evaluating and implementing a requested change. Establishing the priority of requests is generally performed at the request intake or management level-before the change control process formally begins-making it the least likely activity to be included within the change control sub-phase itself.
