  Then why are you wasting time posting them here? If you've checked in your study materials, you already know if they're right or not, yes?

  On number six, obtaining resources may well be your book answer. But in the real world, you better build and test a prototype (or engineering design model) before you go further. Production details are always revealed in the prototype. A much better answer would have been e) build a prototype, and test it, before committing to a production or production schedule. This is true for both hardware and software. Murphy's law is gained from experience, and I would bet your text author is somewhat slack in that management experience.
