D is just stating the obvious, boundaries define external aspects.

Wait, is it really independent of implementation? That’s surprising!

C seems off to me, isn't it influenced by tech too?

I’m leaning towards option C as well. It seems like boundaries should have some technical considerations, right?

I feel like I’ve seen a similar question before, and I think boundaries do define what’s external. So maybe option A is the one that’s not true?

I think option B might be the one that's not true. We talked about how boundaries are more about the logical aspects than just the physical interface.

I remember we discussed boundaries in class, but I'm not sure if option C is correct. It sounds a bit off to me.

I've got a strategy - I'll eliminate the options that clearly describe what a boundary is, and the remaining one will be the answer.

I'm a little confused by the wording of the options. I'll have to read them closely to make sure I understand the distinctions.

Okay, I know the definition of a boundary, so I just need to identify which option doesn't fit that.

Wait, there's a boundary around my application? I thought it was just a free-for-all in there!

Option D is clearly the correct answer. The boundary defines what is external to the application, not the other way around. Easy peasy.

Hah, I was totally going to pick option C. Of course the boundary is dependent on the user's external business view, not independent of it. Nice try, test-makers!
