Prioritization of requirements is used to make certain that analysis and implementation efforts focus on the most critical requirements. The requirement prioritization process ranks the requirements by importance. It is a decision process. This process is used for determining the relative importance of requirements. These priorities determine which requirements should be targets for further analysis.   Answer: C is incorrect. Requirements prioritization does not rank the requirements by the stakeholders, but by the needs of the stakeholders and the requirements that are most important to satisfy those needs. Answer: A is incorrect. Requirements prioritization does not rank the requirements according to the cost and schedule, but by importance. Answer: B is incorrect. Requirements prioritization does not rank the requirements on a weighted scale; this isn't a valid statement.
