According to the BABOK Guide, assessing the impacts and re-prioritizing the requirements based on technical constraints is a technique for managing changes to requirements. This technique can help the BA handle the new information that the current viewer will no longer be supported by the provider. The BA will need to analyze how this change affects the existing requirements and design options, and determine if any adjustments or trade-offs are needed. The BA will also need to re-prioritize the requirements based on their importance and feasibility in light of this change. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

Identifying the performance objectives (B) and selecting the performance measures ?are steps that should be done before analyzing the performance, not after.

The task that the BA must complete before preparation of the elicitation process can begin is collecting information on the business need.

The other options are incorrect because: Option A is incorrect because coordinating meeting logistics is not a task that the BA must complete before preparation of the elicitation process can begin, but a task that the BA performs during preparation of the elicitation process. Coordinating meeting logistics means arranging and confirming the details of the meeting such as date, time, location, agenda, participants, etc. Option B is incorrect because approving anticipated expenses is not a task that the BA must complete before preparation of the elicitation process can begin, but a task that the BA performs after preparation of the elicitation process. Approving anticipated expenses means obtaining authorization or consent for the expected costs or resources required for the elicitation process. Option C is incorrect because gathering contact information of stakeholders is not a task that the BA must complete before preparation of the elicitation process can begin, but a task that the BA performs during preparation of the elicitation process.
