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
✓
REQ-002, because it is still in Draft status
REQ-002 is still in Draft status, meaning it has not been approved. Unapproved requirements pose the greatest risk as they may change, cause rework, or lead to compliance issues. Option A is incorrect because REQ-001 is already verified and approved. Option B is incorrect because REQ-003 being verified indicates it has been tested and is less risky. Option C is incorrect because the draft status of REQ-002 makes it more risky than the others.
