Hi, I am new to UML.
Why is the answer for the following question B. I still not sure about it. Any insights?

2. During implementation, the development team decides to use a third party utility to provide some of the required functionality.
What OOAD artifact would MOST likely reflect this change?
(A)Activity diagram
(B)Package diagram
(C)State diagram
(D)Interaction diagram

Nobody can help me on this? Why Package Diagram? How about interaction diagram? If third party functionality is added, we still need to show the interactions between original objects and added objects, right? Just confused.

Mhh, I would have said B just because its main purpose *is* to show the different packages (and therefore also thirdparty libraries) involved in the system.
But I also think that the question isn't a very good one - and one with quite low applicability in practice. YMMV.

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus

Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
