I’m confused about whether requirements and designs are considered inputs for elicitation. I thought they came later in the process.

I think the needs and stakeholder engagement approach is crucial for elicitation, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the only input we need.

I think the best approach here is B. Elicitation is focused on understanding the problem and the stakeholders, so that has to be the key input. The other options are more about the solution itself.
