Choose the correct answer:Which description of text annotation in BPMN is true?

In BPMN, aText Annotationis anartifactused purely to add explanatory comments to elements in a diagram. Itnever affects the process flow or execution semantics. OMG specifies that artifacts, including Text Annotations, are connected to flow objects (activities, events, gateways, sequence flows, etc.) usingAssociations, which are dotted (or dashed) lines. The association may be directional or non-directional, but it is still anAssociation, not a Sequence Flow or Message Flow.

Therefore:

Option A is false because Text Annotations donotaffect process flow.

Option B is false because a Text Annotation may be connected toanyflow object (and even to flows), not only to pools, lanes, or groups.

Option C correctly states that a Text Annotation is connected by anAssociation.

Option D is about its graphic shape, but the question asks for adescriptionthat is true in general, which is precisely captured by Option C.

So,Cis the correct answer in accordance with the OMG BPMN 2.0.2 specification.
