Hold up, what if the new requirement is to install a trampoline in the office? Wouldn't that impact, like, the whole building's structural integrity? Just sayin'.

I'm voting for B too. Gotta love those traceability matrices, they're like a treasure map for project managers. Plus, it's the only answer that doesn't sound like a boring bureaucratic task.

C is tempting, but prioritizing requirements doesn't address the need to identify specific impacts. I'll go with B - traceability all the way!

I'm torn between B and D. While traceability is important, managing assumptions and constraints could also reveal those hidden impacts. Hmm, tough call.

Definitely B. Manage requirements traceability. That's the key to understanding how new requirements impact the existing project scope and deliverables.
