The flowchart shows the vendor as being connected to the system through the Purchase Order process. This means that the vendor is exposed to credit risk because they are providing goods before receiving payment. Therefore, option C is the best choice. Option A is incorrect because the vendor is clearly part of the system. Option B is incorrect because the number of symbols in a column does not determine whether a process should be included in a flowchart. Option D is incorrect because there is no indication in the flowchart that the vendor would need to generate an invoice before shipping goods.
