• DIt only serves IT tasks

Explanation

In SAP LeanIX, an Application is defined as a software component that processes business data - it exists to support business processes by taking in, transforming, or outputting data in service of organizational functions. Option A is wrong because TBM (Technology Business Management) taxonomy is a framework for categorizing IT costs and services, not the defining trait of an Application fact sheet in LeanIX. Option C is incorrect because Applications are software, not hardware - hardware components fall under Infrastructure in the LeanIX metamodel. Option D is wrong because Applications primarily serve business tasks, not IT-internal tasks; IT services are modeled separately. Memory tip: Think of an Application as anything that "touches the business" - if it processes data that keeps the business running (invoices, orders, reports), it's an Application in LeanIX.
