Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 37 explicitly states, "All requirements must be known upfront" and "Deliverables created for each phase are considered frozen - inhibits flexibility" as key deficiencies of the Waterfall Model. This rigidity in defining requirements early reduces flexibility.

Hint

Consider how early, rigid requirement definition impacts the model's ability to adapt to changes.
