SOA Certified Professional – Analyst — Question 8
Which of the following statements is true?
Select the correct answer.
Answer options
- A. A service inherits its functional context from its capabilities.
- B. A service capability inherits its functional context from other capabilities within the same service.
- C. A service inherits its functional context from other services, especially in complex compositions.
- D. A service capability inherits its functional context from its service.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D because a service capability is defined within the context of its service, meaning it draws its functional context directly from that service. Options A, B, and C incorrectly suggest that capabilities or services derive context from other components, which misrepresents the hierarchical relationship in service design.
