Refer to the following case as you respond to the question: The Celebration Theatre is a small, independent theatre that puts on 12 plays per year.30 days before the start of each calendar quarter, Celebration prepares advertising for the productions in the upcoming quarter.They advertise on their web site, via e-mail to their season subscribers and via direct mail and brochures to others.Patrons can buy tickets for a single play; alternatively, they can subscribe to all three plays each quarter.Quarterly subscriptions offer a 25% discount from the prices of single tickets.Patrons may purchase tickets over the phone, at the box office or via the theatre's web site.All tickets are held at the box office where they can be picked up as early as one week prior to the performance.The theatre has an "open seating" plan, so patrons do not reserve a specific seat at any performance.If tickets are purchased in person at the box office, non-subscribers may pay with cash or a major credit card; subscribers can pay with cash, major credit card or check.All tickets purchased over the phone or via the web site must be paid for with a major credit card.Celebration maintains an electronic database to track all ticket sales; paper tickets are printed at least ten days prior to a performance.Any paid tickets that are not claimed at least thirty minutes prior to the performance are sold on a "first-come, first-serve" basis at a 50% discount.Which of the following statements would be most true in a systems flowchart of the Celebration Theatre case?
A)One of the flowchart columns would have "patrons" as its heading.
B)One of the flowchart columns would have "theatre personnel" as its heading.
C)Both one of the flowchart columns would have "patrons" as its heading and one of the flowchart columns would have "theatre personnel" as its heading are true.

The systems flowchart would likely have separate columns for "patrons" and "theatre personnel" since they are both involved in various aspects of the ticketing and subscription process. The patrons column would track the various ways patrons can purchase tickets and subscriptions (in person, online, phone), how they pay, and ticket pickup policies. The theatre personnel column would track tasks such as preparing advertising, printing tickets, managing the database of ticket sales, and selling the 50% discounted tickets for unclaimed seats.
