Why each option

In ITIL, a function is a team or group of people with tools and resources used to carry out specific processes or activities.

BFunctionsCorrect

ITIL defines functions as units of an organization - such as groups, teams, departments, or divisions - that are specialized to perform certain types of work and are responsible for specific outcomes. Functions provide structure and stability within an organization and own the resources and capabilities required to perform their work.

CRoles

Roles define responsibilities and authorities assigned to a person or team, but they are not the classification for organizational units like departments or divisions.

DTechnicians
