F makes sense, focus on the main tasks when defining navigation. Subtasks are just the little details, nobody cares about those. Unless, of course, you're a masochistic UX designer. *cries internally*

I guess it's all about finding the right balance between tasks and subtasks in design.

True, subtasks may seem like little details, but they can make a big difference in usability.

But don't you think the subtasks are important for providing a seamless user experience?

E looks good too, both tasks and subtasks are used to derive user requirements. But I'll go with C and D as the best answers. Gotta keep it simple, right?

Lol, A sounds like something straight out of a corporate jargon generator. 'Indirect users'? What is this, a tech support helpline?

Haha, yeah, 'indirect users' sounds so formal and fancy.

I'm not sure about B, the master-apprentice model doesn't seem directly relevant here. But I agree with the others, tasks are more important for defining user needs and navigation structure.

C and D seem like the correct answers to me. Tasks are the main basis for use scenarios, while subtasks are used for task models. Usability test tasks should focus on the main tasks, not the smaller subtasks.
