Correct answer: C

Explanation

Due to their highly interactive nature, focus groups are most effective when moderated by a trained professional who can collect their feedback effectively with a select group of individuals. Interviews are a face-to-face communication technique performed by a project manager to identify product functions and features. Nominal group techniques are methods to allow efficient group voting. Multicriteria decision analysis uses a decision matrix to evaluate several different criteria on project or product quality.
