Answer: C - When presenting functional requirements in a diagram, it is important NOT to show events in a random order.

Key Takeaway: When using a diagram to illustrate functional requirements graphically, it is important to show events in a certain order. For example, if there is hierarchical relationship between elements of the diagram, you should place the most important elements at the top of the page.

Similarly, if there is a sequence of events, you should place the first step at the top of the page. In general, you have limited space to put all functional requirements information in a diagram which makes it doubly important simplify and order them as much as possible.
