ANSWER:-
OPTION (A) It is the process by which requirements are gathered directly from stakeholders.
Scope creep (sometimes known as “requirement creep” or even “feature creep”) refers to how a project’s requirements tend to increase over a project lifecycle, e.g. what once started out as a single deliverable becomes five. Or a product that began with three essential features, now must have ten. Or midway through a project, the needs of customers change, prompting a reassessment of the project requirements.
