Selected Answer: A
A model in business analysis is designed to simplify and represent complex realities such as processes, data flows, or business rules. While models can: Define boundaries (B) → E.g., context diagrams. Describe situations/problems (C) → E.g., use case diagrams. Illustrate processes/flows (D) → E.g., flowcharts or activity diagrams. Why Option A Is the Exception: Defining project team resources (e.g., staffing, budgets) falls under project management or resource planning, not modeling. Models focus on business or system structures, not logistical project execution details. BABOK Reference (Chapter 7: Requirements Analysis and Design Definition - Specify and Model Requirements): Models are tools for analysis and design, not resource allocation.
