Accepted Answer

Component A

Sanjay · Answer

Option A is right. EMV's most useful before you launch a new component so you can compare possible returns upfront.

Ajay Q. · Answer

C is in progress, so you'd use EMV for A. New components give more value from probability analysis versus ones already started.

A imo. Since A is new, you get the most reliable EMV figure before committing resources, whereas C and D are already underway so sunk cost might skew the analysis. Similar question popped up in a practice set.
