Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Comprehensive and Detailed Requirementsrelationships must be necessaryto ensure that each requirementlogically contributes to the overall solutionwithout unnecessary dependencies.

BABOK Guide (Chapter 5.1 - Trace Requirements)states thatdefining necessary relationships ensures that dependencies are valid and avoid redundant or irrelevant links.

Source (Option A)identifies requirement origins but does not determine relationship validity.

Complexity (Option B)describes difficulty but is not a requirement relationship criterion.

Priority (Option D)ranks requirements but does not define their relationships.
