Why each option
Work breakdown structure (WBS) creation is a project management technique, not a requirements modeling or specification technique.
Organization modeling is a valid requirements technique that depicts roles, responsibilities, and reporting structures within a business domain.
Data modeling is a valid requirements technique used to define and describe data entities, their attributes, and relationships.
A WBS is a project management tool used to decompose project deliverables into manageable work packages for scheduling and cost estimation purposes. It organizes project work, not system requirements. Requirements techniques like modeling focus on describing system behavior, data structures, or organizational context.
State diagrams are a valid requirements modeling technique that show how a system or entity transitions between states in response to events.
