Answer and Explanation:
The correct answer is A.

Both Delphi Technique and Expert Judgment are good answers to 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.
