Explanation
Functional requirements define what a system or process must do, and they characterize this through Coverage (what scope of functionality is included), Quality (the standard to which functions must perform), and Quantity (the measurable volumes, limits, or counts involved). These three elements together describe the full picture of what a requirement must address in terms of breadth, standard, and scale.
Accuracy (B) is the distractor - accuracy is a non-functional attribute (often a data quality characteristic) describing how precisely something must be measured or stored, which falls outside the scope of what the functional requirements task itself describes.
Memory tip: Think of the acronym CQQ - Coverage, Quality, Quantity - as the "three dimensions" of a functional requirement. Ask yourself: What is covered? How well? How much? If a concept answers "how precisely," it's likely a data quality or non-functional concern, not a functional requirement element.
