A business analyst (BA) is tasked with developing a business analysis plan and must decide the best approach to use. Which of the following factors would drive the decision towards an adaptive approach?

An adaptive approach is suitable when the organization's tolerance for uncertainty is high. Adaptive approaches focus on delivering business value in short iterations and are effective in environments where there is a high degree of uncertainty and change is anticipated. This allows the team to remain flexible and responsive to evolving requirements and conditions.
Answer is D
D - Adaptive approaches focus on rapid delivery of business value in short iterations in return for acceptance of a higher degree of uncertainty regarding the overall delivery of the solution. BABOK p26

D - Adaptive approaches focus on rapid delivery of business value in short iterations in return for acceptance of a higher degree of uncertainty regarding the overall delivery of the solution.
D is correct. Organization tolerance for uncertainty must be high to work with Adaptive approach. As BABOK v3 3.1.4 states, "Adaptive approaches focus on rapid delivery of business value in short iterations in return for acceptance of a higher degree of uncertainty regarding the overall delivery of the solution". B is also incorrect because both predictive and adaptive approaches can be used to cater high risk of incorrect implementation. Predictive approach tends to minimize risk by planning ahead while adaptive approach tends to minimize risk via rapid delivery of business value in short iterations. A is also incorrect because predictive approach requires the requirements to be defined ahead of implementation to maximize control and minimize uncertainty, not adaptive. (BABOK v3 3.1.4) C is also incorrect because this does not specifically drive the decision to use adaptive approach.
D. The organization's tolerance for uncertainty is high.
Answer is D.
Answer is C: Predictive approaches focus on minimizing upfront uncertainty and ensuring that the solution is defined before implementation begins in order to maximize control and minimize risk. These approaches are often preferred in situations where requirements can effectively be defined ahead of implementation, the risk of an incorrect implementation is unacceptably high, or when engaging stakeholders presents significant challenges
Sorry D

All are predictive approach except D, which is an adaptive one. Answer is D
BABOK 3.1.4.1 Predictive approaches are often preferred in situations where requirements can effectively be defined ahead of implementation, the risk of an incorrect implementation is unacceptably high, or when engaging stakeholders presents significant challenges.
