4.1.4.5 Prepare Stakeholders ...Stakeholders may be unresponsive or challenging during an elicitation activity if they feel that it is not aligned to their individual objectives, don't understand the purpose, or are confused about the process. In preparing for elicitation, the business analyst should ensure that there is buy-in from all necessary stakeholders. There is nothing about the solution scope in Prepare for Elicitation task To my opinion, the correct answer is D

Stakeholder concerns would be documented in a risk Register. D is part of the objectives and goals so should remain for elicitation purposes.
