The future/ideal state map is the flow diagram that depicts process improvements to optimize the value and minimize the non-value-added streams. The current state map shows the current state of the process and is used as a baseline for improvement, the variation map shows the sources of variation in the process, and the anticipated state map is not a common term used in value stream mapping. Therefore, the best choice is B.
