Which statement correctly describes BPMN's general use?

• A. Defines the data structures used by processes.
• B. Maps the organizational structure.
• C. Graphically represents process steps and actions.
• D. Manages project budgets.

Answer: (C)

BPMN is used to graphically represent process steps and actions. It provides a standard visual notation to depict the sequence of activities, decision points, parallel paths, events, and the interactions between participants in a business process. This visual model helps teams understand how a process flows, identify bottlenecks, and plan automation. It isn’t primarily about defining data structures, mapping organizational structures, or managing budgets—areas handled by data modeling, organizational charts, and budgeting or project-management tools, respectively. So the general use is to visually map the flow of a process from start to finish.
