I'm pretty confident that SWOT is about Strengths and Weaknesses, but I can't recall the full acronym. I hope it's not one of the other options!

Okay, I've got this. SWOT is a strategic planning framework that looks at the internal Strengths and Weaknesses of a solution, as well as the external Opportunities and Threats. Option D is the correct answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by this question. I know SWOT has something to do with analyzing a solution, but I can't quite remember the full meaning. I'll have to think this through carefully.
