Option A is correct. An infeasible requirement must be identified plainly, including which constraints prevent compliance. Present achievable alternatives, prioritised capabilities or revised scope with transparent consequences rather than concealing a shortfall. A product is appropriate only when its operating model and capabilities fit the customer’s entire requirement set. The recommendation should expose limitations, integration dependencies and alternative implementation paths rather than prioritising familiarity, novelty or sales popularity. Alternatives based on product preference, unchecked scope changes or deferred validation would weaken the requirement-to-design traceability on which the recommendation depends. Where implementation work follows, document the responsible owner, acceptance test and escalation path. A technically correct design still needs controlled delivery and a supportable operating model to deliver the business outcome. Workload-centred architecture first establishes the required performance and service behaviour. Only then should the architect propose edge, data-centre, public-cloud or hybrid resources with management and support arrangements that match the customer’s actual operating constraints.
