Hmm, I'd say B. Stakeholders are usually known to the project team and management, so they're best equipped to identify them. Unless, of course, the project manager is a superhuman with the ability to interview every single person on the planet. Now that would be impressive!

I'm gonna go with D. Sounds like a thorough process to make sure you've got all the bases covered. Plus, it gives those stakeholders a voice in the process.

D seems like the most comprehensive approach to me. Interviewing identified stakeholders and expanding the list is a great way to ensure you don't miss anyone.
