Explanation:
A stakeholder analysis matrix is a simple table that identifies stakeholders, their attitude towards
the project, their perceived threats and concerns, and strategies the project manager can use to
gain stakeholder support and remove obstacles.
Answer option A is incorrect. Stakeholder identification tools are not a precise answer for this
question.
