Selected Answer: D
page 105 The definition of business needs is frequently the most critical step in any business analysis effort. A solution must satisfy the business needs to be considered successful. The way the need is defined determines which alternative solutions will be considered, which stakeholders will be consulted, and which solution approaches will be evaluated. Business needs are always expressed from the perspective of the enterprise, and not that of any particular stakeholder

Selected Answer: A
BABOK Section 5.1: Define Business Need, defining the business need is the most critical step in the business analysis effort because it identifies and clarifies the underlying problem or opportunity that the business is seeking to address. The business need provides the foundation for the entire business analysis effort, guiding all subsequent tasks such as identifying stakeholders, defining the solution scope, and developing requirements. Without a clear definition of the business need, it would be difficult to ensure that the analysis and eventual solution align with what the organization is trying to achieve.
