Explanation

The business owner should be responsible for cataloging and inventorying RPA processes because RPA automates business processes, and the business owner has the authoritative knowledge of what those processes are, their scope, criticality, and dependencies. Ownership of the process implies ownership of its automated counterpart. IT personnel (A) may support implementation but do not own the business processes. Information security (C) governs risk and controls but does not own the processes. Data stewards (D) are responsible for data quality and governance, not process inventories.
