Question 3 of 10    10.0 Points
Every software system has the following essential characteristics


        A. It has processes which collaborate with each other to generate the outputs.   
    


    B. All the above   
    


    C. It has a boundary. The boundary separates what is with in system scope and what is outside.   
    


    D. The system may also use data stores to store data which has a life beyond the system.   
    


    E. These processes operate on data by creating, modifying, destroying, and querying it.   
    


    F. It takes inputs from external agents and generates outputs.   
Answer Key B
