Explanation

When transporting a custom leading business role in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, SAP recommends adding all derived business roles as dependencies to the Software Collection because derived roles depend on the leading role for their structure and authorizations - transporting the leading role without its derived roles creates an incomplete, broken configuration in the target system.

Why A is wrong: The pre-delivered template role used to create the custom role stays in the system permanently and doesn't need to be transported - it already exists in the target tenant as part of the standard delivery. Transporting it would be redundant and is not SAP's recommendation.

Why C is wrong: Other leading business roles from the same Line of Business are independent objects. There is no technical dependency between sibling leading roles, so including them would bloat the transport unnecessarily and is not required.

Memory tip: Think of a leading role as a parent and derived roles as its children - you can't move a parent to a new home and leave the children behind. Whenever you transport the "leader," always bring the "followers" (derived roles) along as dependencies.
