I believe the B option is correct, the number two guideline on understanding how the team works, speaks of observation

Selected Answer: A

I am of the opinion that conducting interviews (for building strong relationships) and prototyping & scenario analysis (for gaining knowledge of the current process) are relevant. Workshops are great for understanding team dynamics as well, but option B is nullified by the inclusion of observation. Within an iterative project development approach, observation as a technique for requirements elicitation does not have high relevance.
