Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Power/interest grid
The power/interest grid categorizes stakeholders by their level of influence and interest to determine the appropriate engagement strategy. Option A is incorrect because a communication matrix defines communication channels and frequency, not stakeholder categorization. Option B is incorrect because a decision tree is a tool for decision analysis under uncertainty, not for stakeholder analysis. Option C is incorrect because a RACI matrix assigns roles and responsibilities (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) rather than categorizing by influence and interest.
