What does the analysis of alternatives provide?

• A. A summary of risk factors involved.
• B. Outline of the realm of possibilities available to address the problem or opportunity, including viable options including a do-nothing option.
• C. A detailed procurement strategy.
• D. A training plan.

Answer: (B)

It outlines the realm of possibilities available to address the problem or opportunity, including viable options and a do-nothing option. By evaluating each option’s costs, benefits, risks, and feasibility, the analysis of alternatives provides a structured basis for comparing choices and selecting the most suitable path. It’s broader than a procurement strategy or training plan, and while risk factors may be discussed as part of the evaluation, the main purpose is to map out and assess the possible ways forward.
