A domain subject matter expert (SME) describes a scenario to the business analyst (BA) that...

 The correct answer is C. The BA should document the elicitation results then verify and validate in a requirements review. This means that the BA should record the process model for the exception scenario and check its accuracy, completeness, and clarity with the domain SME and other stakeholders. The BA should also ensure that the process model meets the stakeholder needs and expectations and conforms to the business analysis standards and guidelines.

The other options are incorrect because:

Option A is incorrect because capturing and integrating the process model into other appropriate planned outcomes is not an action that the BA takes immediately after sketching out the process model with the domain SME. The BA should first document and review the process model before incorporating it into other deliverables or artifacts.

Option B is incorrect because planning an observation activity to gain a hands-on understanding of the situation is not an action that the BA takes after sketching out the process model with the domain SME. The BA should already have a sufficient understanding of the situation before eliciting information from the domain SME. Observation is another elicitation technique that can be used to gather information from stakeholders by watching them perform their tasks or roles.

Option D is incorrect because reviewing the issue with stakeholders during a follow-up session is not an action that the BA takes immediately after sketching out the process model with the domain SME. The BA should first document and review the process model before conducting a follow-up session with stakeholders to address any issues or concerns.
