Explanation
User manuals document how people interact with the non-automated (manual) portions of a system, so they are created and modified within the Design non-automated information systems process - this is where human procedures, workflows, and manual tasks are formally specified, making it the natural home for user manual development and updates.
Option A (Application management) is wrong because application management concerns the ongoing operation and maintenance of deployed software, not the design or documentation of how users perform tasks.
Option B (Prepare transition) is wrong because that process focuses on planning the organizational changeover to a new system (cutover, training logistics, go-live readiness), not on authoring or revising documentation artifacts.
Memory tip: Link "non-automated" with "human-facing" - user manuals exist precisely to guide humans through the parts of a process that aren't handled by software, so they belong in the design phase of the non-automated side.
