Why each option
Enterprise Environmental Factors (EEFs) are split into internal and external categories. Geographic distribution of facilities is an internal EEF because it describes the organization's own physical infrastructure.
Legal restrictions are external EEFs because they originate from government regulations and laws that exist outside the organization's control.
Financial considerations such as currency exchange rates and market conditions are external EEFs driven by forces outside the organization.
Commercial databases are external EEFs because they are third-party resources not owned or controlled by the performing organization.
Geographic distribution of facilities is classified as an internal Enterprise Environmental Factor in the PMBOK Guide because it reflects the performing organization's own physical locations and infrastructure. Internal EEFs originate within the organization and directly shape how projects are structured and resourced.
