Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The system's latest vulnerability scan report.
Why it's wrong here

Why this is correct
A topology diagram is the primary artifact for visualizing and validating the system boundary.

Why it's wrong here
The risk register is an aggregate view and lacks technical detail on specific connections.
