DFD’s come under which phase of the Software Analysis and Design?
A
Process
B
Design
C
Analysis
D
Requirements
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During the Analysis phase of the SDLC, analysts identify processes and data flows in a logicaldata flow diagram (DFD). In the design phase, physical DFDs are created.

Detailed explanation-2: -A data flow diagram (DFD) is a graphical or visual representation using a standardized set of symbols and notations to describe a business’s operations through data movement. They are often elements of a formal methodology such as Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM).

Detailed explanation-3: -It can be used to communicate between a system analyst and anyone else involved in developing a system. The DFD is a modelling tool for structured analysis. Data Flow Diagrams are widely used because they facilitate visualising the significant phases and data involved in software-system processes.

Detailed explanation-4: -As described previously, context diagrams (level 0 DFDs) are diagrams where the whole system is represented as a single process. A level 1 DFD notates each of the main sub-processes that together form the complete system. We can think of a level 1 DFD as an “exploded view” of the context diagram.
