ANSWER AND EXPLANATION:
The correct answer is A
Explanation: You can consider both Delphi Technique and Expert Judgment as a good answer for this question. However, the Delphi Technique is the better option because the question asked you to conclusively identify the risks. Expert Judgment will only give you a list or risks as identified by one or more experts without discussion. On the other hand, the Delphi Technique is designed to result in a peer reviewed list, which indicates a consensus among the experts.
