When a defect is raise and there is no sufficient code to fix the defect (gap in requirements), what will be the state of the defect?

When a defect cannot be fixed due to missing requirements or insufficient code (a gap), it cannot be immediately resolved. 'Deferred' is the appropriate state because the defect is acknowledged but requires future work when requirements are clarified. 'Rejected' would imply the defect is invalid, while 'Fixed' and 'Closed' suggest completion.
