Answer: A

Explanation:

The best way for a business analyst to build trust with stakeholders after making a mistake is to be vulnerable and own their mistake. This will show honesty, humility, accountability, and willingness to learn from errors. Promising to work harder to avoid other mistakes may sound defensive or unrealistic without acknowledging what went wrong or how to fix it. Asking their supervisor for help immediately may seem desperate or unprofessional without trying to resolve it first with stakeholders.
