Selected Answer: C
My take is: A security initiative is the result of a risk assessment. E.g., the security initiative could mean the implementation of a SIEM as a mitigating control. Therefore, a risk assessment is given already. To decide whether certain controls should be implemented, a cost-benefit analysis must be done. If costs outweigh benefits, there is no need to write a business case. If benefits outweigh costs, the cost-benefit analysis will be part of the business case later on.
