this one is tricky. It may be tempting to go with Verified, however - • Specify and Model Requirements: describes a set of requirements or designs in detail using analytical techniques. • Verify Requirements: ensures that a set of requirements or designs has been developed in enough detail to be usable by a particular stakeholder, is internally consistent, and is of high quality. • Validate Requirements: ensures that a set of requirements or designs delivers business value and supports the organization's goals and objectives. This means, the req is already specified and verified, the BA now has to check for its alignment with Organization's goal (Validate)

Answer D (Specified) is correct. Requirements are going through 5 different stages. 1. Elicitation 2. Specification 3. Verification 4. Validation 5. Management In this case, BA has collected the requirements, but not reviewed them (verification). Doing some checking compliance is a formal work done before the verification.

Ans-A Requirements Validation The activity which the BA is 'moving' towards is Validation. Currently in the Verify state.
