B
B , saw similar on exam reports, restricting the pool is typically in solicitation phase.
Option B
D , submission is tempting since that's when bids go in but restricting the competitor list really fits solicitation phase. Easy trap.
B tbh, lots pick C but restricting the actual bidders happens at solicitation not spec writing. Easy to mix up those phases.
For me, it's C for this one.
Hard to say, B, since during the solicitation phase fraudsters can limit which vendors are invited. I saw a similar scenario in some practice tests and official guide explanations. Not 100% but this fits the usual exam logic.
B or C for me. I thought false specification is where you tailor requirements to shut out competitors, which seems like restricting the pool too. But pretty sure the exam wants B since solicitation is when you decide who gets invited to bid. Open to other views.
