What is the main purpose of a sequence diagram in UML?
A
Show the high-level architecture of a system
B
To show objects interactions arranged in time
C
To describe the attributes and operations of a system
D
To show the relationships between classes in a system
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sequence diagram represents the flow of messages in the system and is also termed as an event diagram. It helps in envisioning several dynamic scenarios. It portrays the communication between any two lifelines as a time-ordered sequence of events, such that these lifelines took part at the run time.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sequence diagram is used primarily to show the interactions between objects in the sequential order that those interactions occur. Much like the class diagram, developers typically think sequence diagrams were meant exclusively for them.

Detailed explanation-3: -5.4. Sequence diagrams show object interactions arranged in a time sequence (refer Figure 5.10). The flow of events can be used to determine what objects and interactions are required to accomplish the functionality.

Detailed explanation-4: -A sequence diagram or system sequence diagram (SSD) shows process interactions arranged in time sequence in the field of software engineering. It depicts the processes involved and the sequence of messages exchanged between the processes needed to carry out the functionality.
