I recall a practice question where we had to identify functional policies. It seems like that could be a possibility, but I lean towards the external analysis being the missing piece.

Okay, the key here is to identify the stage of strategic analysis that the organization has failed to carry out. I'm leaning towards option A, an external analysis of the business environment, since that's a critical part of the strategic analysis process.
