If an organization baselines requirements and the requirements change after approval, then the organization must use a change control system. The change control system helps to manage desired changes, provides governance for the change, and documents the proposed change. Answer: A is incorrect. Rebaselining is rarely appropriate; sending the changes through the change control system is the best answer. Answer: D is incorrect. Requirements versioning may be appropriate if the changes are actually approved after they've passed through the change control system. Answer: B is incorrect. Configuration management controls the features and functions of the requirements. The best choice is to send the proposed change through the change control system.
