Correct answer & explanation
✓
Jane Doe
(Jane Doe) is correct because Jane Doe has high power and high interest, making her a key stakeholder who should be involved in detailed requirements reviews. Option A (Alice Jones) has low power but high interest, so she should be kept informed, not necessarily in detailed reviews. Option C (Bob Smith) has high power but low interest, so he should be kept satisfied, not involved in details. Option D (All three) is incorrect because not all stakeholders require the same level of involvement in detailed reviews.
