Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) Functional unit; (B) Goal and scope definition; (D) Life-cycle inventory

Explanation

LCA defines a goal and scope, including the functional unit that supplies a consistent reference for comparison. Its inventory phase quantifies relevant inputs and outputs before impact assessment and interpretation. Technology readiness level describes technology maturity and is not an LCA phase or defining reference. Select **A, B, D**.
