I feel like option D is definitely not the right answer since interviewing isn’t about assembling a traceability matrix. It’s more about gathering initial requirements.

I think we practiced a similar question where interviewing was highlighted as crucial for getting sign-off, but I’m not sure if that applies here.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like option B could also make sense since time constraints might limit how many sources we can consult.

Department of Justice is definitely key for enforcing legal boundaries between companies. FTC also monitors market competition, so option D looks solid to me.

Interviewing stakeholders is definitely important, but I don't think it's necessary for creating a requirements traceability matrix. That's more of a documentation exercise.
