Wait, is this a trick question? If I choose the state diagram, does that mean I get an extra credit point for being the only one bold enough to go against the grain?

I'm a bit stumped. Maybe I should have paid more attention in class when we covered these diagrams. A state diagram? Really? I think I need to go back and review my notes.

The state diagram seems like an odd choice for this scenario. I'd go with the entity relationship diagram to model the data and entities involved in the project.

I'm going with the data flow diagram. It gives a comprehensive view of the information flow and the processes involved, which should help stakeholders understand the analysis scope.

The entity relationship diagram might be helpful in illustrating the relationships between different data entities.

I think the context diagram could also be useful in showing the high-level interactions between the system and external entities.

I think the context diagram is the best choice here. It clearly shows the scope of the analysis and the boundaries between the system and its external entities.
