Choose the correct answer: Consider the following diagram:How many object nodes in total are shown?

ML 2 Foundation concepts for activity diagrams, there are eight object nodes in total. Here's a breakdown of the elements:

Object Nodes:

Order: This rectangle near the start of the diagram represents an object node.

Cust Name: This rectangle following the "Get Customer Details" action is another object node.

Order Details: This rectangle after the "Get Order Details" action is an object node as well.

New Order: The rectangle positioned after the decision diamond (approved) is an object node.

Repeat (text near the decision diamond): This is not an object node. It likely indicates a loopback or repetition, but it doesn't represent an object itself.

Cust Order: The rectangle after the "Place Order" action is an object node.

Invoice: The rectangle following the "Create Invoice" action is an object node.

OrderAck: The rectangle at the end signifies another object node.

Counting the Nodes:

There are eight rectangles that represent object nodes in the diagram (Order, Cust Name, Order Details, New Order, Cust Order, Invoice, OrderAck).
