A and C Alternatives analysis helps to evaluate and compare different options or courses of action, which can help the project manager to identify alternative solutions that can meet the client's needs and expectations. By providing the client with viable alternatives, the project manager can demonstrate the value of the project and the potential benefits of keeping it active.

Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) is a method of evaluating multiple alternatives and making decisions using a variety of criteria. This method can be useful when considering multiple aspects of a project, but in this case alternatives analysis and cost-benefit analysis may provide more direct and concrete data to provide the client with the information he or she needs to decide whether to continue the project. there is. MCDM can comprehensively consider a variety of factors, but in this situation, comparing cost-benefit with specific alternatives can more clearly support the client's decision.

For me, option A is not correct because if we go for alternate options, then we are increasing the possibility of closing the current project and initiating a new one.

Fully agree with SteAle comment, he/she mentioned: Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis is a decision-making technique that is used to identify the best possible option in a set of choices. It helps organizations make decisions by using both qualitative and quantitative data. It helps to decide which alternative is the best in a set of alternatives. It is applied by using a set of criteria to rank alternatives and then selecting the alternative that best meets those criteria. The criteria may be weighted as well, which can lead to different preferences for different people. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis helps organizations make better and more informed decisions. It helps them understand the different options and then identify the best one among them.
