Explanation

Process transparency in BPM means making processes visible and understandable to all relevant stakeholders, which is exactly what B and C achieve. B is correct because modeling and designing processes so all relevant information is immediately graspable is the definition of transparency - stakeholders can see what is happening without ambiguity. C is correct because structuring processes with drill-down navigation (from the high-level value chain down to granular steps) enables transparency across all organizational levels, giving both executives and operators a clear, layered view of how work flows.

A is wrong because automation is a BPM execution goal, not a transparency goal - you can automate a process that remains completely opaque to stakeholders. D is wrong because highlighting departmental boundaries addresses organizational ownership, not process visibility - it may even obscure end-to-end process flow by emphasizing silos.

Memory tip: Think of "transparency" literally - like glass you can see through at multiple zoom levels. B = you can see the whole picture at once; C = you can zoom in from the sky-view down to street-level. Automation (A) and org-chart boundaries (D) are different concerns entirely.
