The options cover a range of potential issues, like overburdening users, incurring costs, revealing sensitive information, and increasing audit work. I'll need to weigh the relative importance of each to determine the top two disadvantages.

I remember learning about BAMs in class. I believe the correct answer is C - a BAM is a model of the organization's processes.

I'm a bit confused by the options. I'm not sure if word wrapping or changing the text position will actually solve the issue of not being able to see the text.
