Choose the correct answer: What does Protocol Conformance represent?
A.
It shows that the general Protocol State Machine conforms to the inherited Protocol State Machine.
B.
It declares that the general Protocol State Machine specifies a protocol that conforms to that specified by the nested Protocol State Machine.
C.
It specifies that the specific Protocol State Machine represents a protocol that conforms to that specified by the redefined Protocol State Machine.
D.
It represents a declaration that every rule and constraint specified for the general Protocol State Machine applies to the specific Protocol State Machine.
Protocol Conformance in UML is a relationship between protocol state machines that ensures consistency in behavior inheritance:
A.Incorrect as it describes a general-to-inherited relationship, which is not the focus of protocol conformance.
B.Incorrect, as it describes a relationship the wrong way around (general to nested).
C.Correct. Protocol Conformance ensures that a specific Protocol State Machine conforms to the rules and constraints specified by a redefined, more general Protocol State Machine.
D.Incorrect, because it generally describes conformance but does not specifically focus on the relationship between specific and general state machines in the context of protocols.
