Explanation

B (Top-Down) is correct because BPM frameworks are structured hierarchically, beginning with high-level strategic objectives and cascading down through management processes to operational, granular activities - each layer refines and implements the one above it.

A (Bottom-Up) is wrong because BPM design does not start at the operational/task level and build upward; strategy always drives process architecture, not the reverse. C (Left-Right) and D (Right-Left) are wrong because BPM layering is a vertical hierarchy of abstraction, not a horizontal sequence - those directions describe flow within a process diagram, not layer relationships.

Memory tip: Think of a corporate org chart - the CEO (strategy) sits at the top, and decisions flow down to departments and individuals. BPM layers work the same way: top = "why & what," bottom = "how."
