Explanation:

The issue stems from relying on a single supplier leading to delays. In the Requirement Gathering & Analysis phase, proactive planning for supply chain resilience is key. The first option addresses this by establishing multiple vendor sources upfront, while the second option (switching vendors later) is a reactive fix, not a preventive step in the early phase.
