Selected Answer: C

Explanation: Forward tracing in requirements traceability refers to tracking how requirements derive or lead to other downstream requirements, design elements, or solution components. Derivation specifically describes the relationship where a requirement is logically linked to another requirement (e.g., a detailed requirement derived from a high-level business requirement). BABOK Reference (Chapter 5: Requirements Life Cycle Management - Trace Requirements): Derivation is a key relationship type in traceability, showing how requirements evolve or decompose into more specific requirements.
