I don't know, I'm a little confused. Shouldn't the project customers also be involved in identifying stakeholders? Option C seems plausible to me.

Hmm, I'm leaning more towards option A. A stakeholder register is a tool used to document and manage the identified stakeholders, so it makes sense that stakeholders would be identified through this process.

I'm not sure about that. I think option D is also a valid answer, as interviewing stakeholders and expanding the list is a common way to identify all the relevant parties.

I think this question is testing our understanding of the PMBOK guide. The correct answer is B, as the project team, sponsor, and management are usually responsible for identifying stakeholders.
