C Correct answer
Explanation

The DELPHI estimation technique uses a forecasting approach based on expert consensus through iterative anonymous rounds. Experts provide estimates, discuss aggregated results, and refine their forecasts until convergence. FPA (Function Point Analysis) is a sizing method, SWAG is a rough guess, and Production Standards are based on historical data rather than forecasting. Delphi explicitly uses forecasting methodology.
