The solution approach is the process of defining the most feasible and appropriate way to implement a change that addresses a business need. It involves identifying and evaluating different options for creating or acquiring new capabilities, such as products, services, processes, or systems, that will deliver value to the stakeholders and solve the business problem. The solution approach also considers the constraints, risks, assumptions, and dependencies that may affect the solution. The solution approach provides the basis for defining the solution scope, which specifies the features and functions of the solution, and the project scope, which specifies the work required to deliver the solution123.

Option A is the definition of scope change control, which is the process of managing and documenting the changes to the product scope as approved by the project stakeholders. Option C is the definition of a risk, which is an uncertain event or condition that may have a positive or negative impact on the project objectives. Option D is the definition of decomposition, which is a technique that breaks down the project scope into smaller deliverables; each deliverable is subdivided repeatedly until the deliverable cannot or should not be broken down any further4. References: 1: BABOK® Guide v3, section 11.2 Define Solution Approach, page 402 2: CBAP® Exam Prep Study Guide, chapter 9, page 323 3: How to Choose the Right Business Analysis Approach 4: PMBOK® Guide, Sixth Edition, section 5.4.2.1 Decomposition, page 156
