Explanation

Critical data elements (CDEs) must be mapped to the data process flow so organizations can trace exactly where sensitive data is created, processed, stored, transmitted, and destroyed throughout its lifecycle. This mapping enables data lineage visibility, supports compliance obligations, and helps identify where privacy controls must be applied. Business analytics (B) uses data but doesn't govern it. A business taxonomy (C) classifies data by type or subject, which is a separate concern. A privacy policy (D) sets rules for data handling but is not the artifact CDEs are mapped to.
