Explanation
UPN was designed to meet exactly this combination of requirements: it is intentionally simple and accessible to non-technical business users, is industry-agnostic, supports drill-down for management decisions and KPI context, and has built-in constructs for regulatory and compliance considerations. BPMN (Option A) is powerful but is technically complex and primarily used in software engineering and IT contexts-not ideal for broad business audiences. UML (Option C) is a software modeling language focused on system and code design, not business process documentation. UPN is the correct choice when the audience spans business and operations and regulatory traceability is required.
