Explanation

B is correct because the question reverses the actual hierarchy between Macro and Micro Process Maps. A Macro Process Map captures the high-level, big-picture view of an entire department's activities, and it is the Macro map that can be broken down into multiple Micro Process Maps - each detailing the step-by-step activities of a specific process within that department.

Option A is wrong because accepting the statement as true would mean a lower-level, detailed map contains and generates higher-level maps, which inverts the correct top-down relationship.

Memory tip: Use the word roots - macro means "large" (think macroeconomics = big-picture economy), and micro means "small" (think microscope = zooming into detail). A Macro map zooms out to show the whole department; Micro maps zoom in to show individual processes. Macro breaks into Micro, never the reverse.
