Forming a cross-functional team sounds right, but I wonder if that’s more about execution than defining requirements. I’ll have to review my notes.

I'm a little confused on this one. Is it really as simple as just defining the users? Shouldn't we also be benchmarking the competition (C) or forming a cross-functional team (D)? I'm not sure, I'll have to review my notes again.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The question is asking about the first step in defining requirements, so I need to consider what comes before actually defining the requirements. I think defining the users (B) makes the most sense as the initial step.

Wait, I'm confused. Isn't SNMPv2C the more secure version compared to SNMPv1? I'll have to review the SNMP protocol details to make sure I have the right information.
