Critical data elements should be mapped to which of the following?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Critical data elements are the data elements that are essential for the organization to achieve its business objectives, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and protect the privacy and security of the data subjects. Critical data elements should be mapped to the data process flow, which is a graphical representation of how data is collected, processed, stored, shared, and disposed of within the organization. Mapping critical data elements to the data process flow helps to identify the sources, destinations, transformations, and dependencies of the data, as well as the potential risks and controls associated with each step of the data lifecycle.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of this question. Is it asking about where critical data should be mapped, or how it should be mapped? I'll have to read through the options again carefully.
