Somehow I ended up with two different sets of answers, one with B as the correct answer.
I do agree B is the best answer (Use Case is fundamentally about how users interact with the system) but I couldn't confidently explain to students why A was wrong.

I agree, but I would also argue for B - they show how users interact with the system.
For those using Adrian's text book on P44 it states that  a use case depicts functional aspects of the system ......... and how people/ organisations interact with the system..
So I believe A and B are both correct.
Any thoughts?

I think DFD in the explanation should be UCD, but I thought I would check.

Cheers,
Heath
