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
✓
Unambiguous
For business requirements, they must be unambiguous (C), consistent with other requirements (D), and testable (E). Atomic (A) is not always necessary as some requirements may need to be broken down further. Feasibility (B) pertains to the solution rather than the requirement itself, so it is not a characteristic of the requirement.
