Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Answer: Use-Case diagram โ€” it shows actors and their relationships to use cases, capturing the system's functional structure at a high level rather than time-based interactions.

Why the other diagrams are not static:

  • Collaboration diagram: shows objects and the messages exchanged between them, representing interactions and the sequence of messages (behavioral).

  • State chart diagram: models states and transitions of an entity in response to events, describing how state changes over time (behavioral).

  • Activity diagram: represents workflows and control/data flow among activities, focusing on the sequence and conditions of execution (behavioral).

Note: In UML, diagrams that show structure (for example, class or component diagrams) are typically considered the static view. Among the provided options, the use-case diagram is the best fit for a static, high-level structural perspective of system functionality.
