I feel like "Analyze the Target" could also be relevant, but I lean towards "Set the Scope" for identifying assets. It just makes sense to outline what we're protecting first.

I'm a bit confused. I thought "Identify and Document Threats" was about assets too, but maybe that's more about the threats themselves?

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think "Set the Scope" was the right answer because it helps define what we need to protect.

I think the step that identifies the assets is "Set the Scope," but I'm not entirely sure. It feels like it could also relate to "Analyze the Target."
