Question

System designers are working with a business analyst (BA) during the initial stages of a project to implement a new transaction-based system. The system designers would like to have a visual that illustrates the type of information that will be input into the system, the processes it will support, and the location where it will be stored.

Explanation

A Data Flow Diagram (DFD)provides avisual representation of data inputs, processes, and storage locations. BABOK® Guide (Chapter 10.12 - Data Modeling)states thatDFDs help illustrate how data moves through a system and where it is processed and stored. Use Case diagrams (Option A)model interactions but do not describe data movement. State Modeling (Option B)describes how an object changes states over time, not data flow. Activity Flow (Option D)describes workflows but does not focus on data movement.
