Question

Options

• AA service enters the service consumer role only when it initiates contact with other service
• BA service enters the service consumer role only when it accesses other services acting as
• CA service enters the service consumer role when it initiates contact with other services acting as
• DA service cannot enter the service consumer role.

• A
  75% (21)
• C
  25% (7)

Explanation

Options A, B, and D are false statements about the service consumer role. A is false because limiting the consumer role to only when a service "initiates contact" is too restrictive - the role is broader than just initiation. B is false for the opposite reason: restricting it to only when a service "accesses" other services is equally incomplete, as it misses the initiation aspect. D is false outright - services absolutely can (and regularly do) enter the service consumer role, so a blanket denial like this is incorrect.

Option C is the true statement: a service enters the consumer role when it initiates contact and acts in the capacity of consuming another service's output - making C the complete and accurate description that A and B each only partially capture.

Memory tip: Watch for the word "only" in service role questions - it almost always signals a false statement by artificially narrowing a broader concept. If two options each say "only" but describe different halves of the same definition, both are likely false traps.
