Q. Match each UML diagram in List I to its appropriate description in List II
List I List II
(a) State Diagram (i) Describes how the external entities
(people, devices) can interact with
the system
(b) Use-Case Diagram (ii) Used to describe the static or
structural view of a system
(c) Class Diagram (iii) Used to show the flow of a business
process, the steps of a use-case or
the logic of an object behaviour
(d) Activity Diagram (iv) Used to describe the dynamic behaviour
of objects and could also be used to describe
the entire system behaviour
