Which of the following is a function of systems analysis?

• A. Needs Assessment
• B. Vendor, Product and Market Analysis
• C. Feasibility Assessment
• D. Team Establishment

Answer: (C)

Evaluating whether a proposed information system is viable within the given technical, financial, and organizational constraints is a key function of systems analysis. This feasibility assessment looks at technical feasibility (can we build or integrate the system with existing technology), economic feasibility (costs and expected benefits), operational feasibility (will it fit into and be used within current workflows), and schedule feasibility (can it be delivered in time). This helps determine whether to proceed, modify the plan, or abandon the idea before moving into detailed design.

In context, needs assessment identifies problems and who is affected, and is usually done early to define goals. Vendor, product, and market analysis focuses on evaluating external solutions for procurement. Team establishment relates to organizing the people who will work on the project. The feasibility assessment specifically addresses viability, which is why it best answers the question.
