An interview is a systematic approach. It is used for eliciting information from a person or a group of people in an informal or formal setting by talking to an interviewee, asking relevant Questions, and documenting the responses. Interviewees are also able to identify other stakeholders. Answer C is incorrect. Acceptance and evaluation criteria are useful for identifying who has the authority to accept or reject solutions.
Answer D is incorrect. Risk analysis is the study of the probability, impact, and scoring of identified risk events. Risk analysis is the science of risks and their probability and evaluation in a business or a process. It is an important factor in security enhancement and prevention in a system.
