What is the conceptual model?

• A. How it can work
• B. How it does work
• C. Transforming data to make it easier to read
• D. How we want it to work

Answer: (D)

The conceptual model is a high-level description of what information the business needs and how it should relate, expressed without tying it to any technology or how data will be processed. It focuses on describing the intended structure and behavior of the system—what we want it to do—so stakeholders share a common understanding before any implementation.

So, this choice is best because it captures the idea of defining how the system should work from the business perspective, independent of feasibility or actual current operations. It’s not about how it can work (that would be exploring options), not about how it does work (that’s the implemented system’s behavior), and not about transforming data for readability (that’s data processing or presentation).
