Explanation
In BPMN, a token is a theoretical concept used to trace and explain how a process instance flows through a diagram - it "travels" along sequence flows, passes through gateways, and triggers activities, making the execution behavior of a process understandable and predictable (A). The token concept is not an evaluation mechanism for comparing design alternatives, ruling out B. It has nothing to do with routing or distributing information/data between participants, eliminating C. Cost calculation is handled by simulation or business case tools, not the token concept, so D is incorrect.
Memory tip: Think of a token like a game piece on a board - it shows you where the process is and what happens next as it moves through the flow, which is purely about execution behavior.
