To answer this question, we need to understand the UML notation used in class diagrams.
In the UML notation, each class in a class diagram typically includes the following information:
- Its name
- Its attributes (also known as properties or fields)
- Its operations (also known as methods or functions)
Therefore, the correct answer is B) its name, attributes, and operations.
Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) its name, attributes, operations, and derived classes - This option is incorrect because class diagrams do not typically include information about derived classes. They only include the name, attributes, and operations of the class itself.
Option B) its name, attributes, and operations - This option is correct because it includes all the necessary information about the class.
Option C) its name and attributes - This option is incorrect because it does not include information about the operations of the class.
Option D) its name and operations - This option is incorrect because it does not include information about the attributes of the class.
Option E) just its name - This option is incorrect because it does not include any information about the attributes or operations of the class.
Therefore, the correct answer is B) its name, attributes, and operations.
