Official answer: C) Prototyping is a method of requirements validation.
Software Requirements and PrototypingOption (A) is false: A Software Requirements Specification (SRS) / requirements document defines *what* the system should do, not *how* it should be implemented.
Option (B) is false: Complete consistency and completeness of requirements are almost impossible to achieve fully in practice due to shifting client needs and inherent complexity.
Option (C) is true: Prototyping is an effective technique used for requirements validation and elicitation by providing stakeholders with an executable model to confirm requirements.
Option (D) is false: Requirements reviews are conducted to detect errors and ambiguities in the *requirements document/specification*, not in the system design.
Therefore, option (C) is the only TRUE statement.
