Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Starting with broad, open-ended questions to explore a topic, then progressively narrowing to specific, closed questions that confirm details — moving from exploration to confirmation
Explanation
The question funnel moves from wide (What challenges do you face?) to narrow (When you receive an incorrect order, what specific steps do you take?). This structure explores the topic fully before drilling into specifics, preventing premature narrowing that misses requirements.
**Why not A:** Filtering out irrelevant questions before interviews is a preparation activity, not the question funnel technique itself. The question funnel describes a specific interviewing structure that progresses from broad, exploratory questions to narrow, confirmatory ones during the elicitation session.
**Why not C:** A physical funnel metaphor for sorting requirements by priority describes a prioritization technique, not the question funnel. The question funnel applies to the structure of questioning during stakeholder interviews, not to how requirements are ranked or organized afterward.
**Why not D:** Limiting questions to avoid stakeholder fatigue is a general interview management consideration, not the question funnel technique. The funnel is about the strategic progression from open-ended exploration to specific confirmation, which actually helps maintain engagement by starting with the stakeholder's broad perspective.
