Explanation

In Maximo Manage, an object structure serves as a hierarchical grouping of business objects (database tables and their relationships) that defines what data is exposed and how it is packaged for integration - making C correct. It acts as the data contract between Maximo and external systems, used by integration frameworks like Integration Framework, REST APIs, and web services to publish or consume data.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A - User interface layout is controlled by Application Designer, not object structures.
• B - While object structures reference table relationships, establishing those relationships is the job of the database schema and Maximo's object/relationship configuration, not the object structure itself.
• D - Application modules are organized through the Application Designer and navigation configuration, which is unrelated to object structures.

Memory tip: Think of an object structure as an "integration blueprint" - any time data needs to travel in or out of Maximo (via APIs, message queues, or file imports), an object structure defines exactly what that data looks like.
