Matrix diagrams show relationships between:

  1. Projects, teams, and budgets

  2. Factors, causes, and objectives

  3. Protocols, processes, and procedures

  4. Metrics, checklists, and data

The correct answer is: Factors, causes, and objectives

Matrix diagrams show relationships between factors, causes, and objectives. Factors refer to specific elements that contribute to a larger outcome, causes identify why those factors exist or occur, and objectives outline the desired outcomes or goals. A is incorrect because it includes too many unrelated components (projects, teams, and budgets). C is incorrect because it is too specific, focusing only on protocols, processes, and procedures, rather than including a broader range of factors and causes. D is incorrect because it includes mostly tools or methods (metrics and checklists) rather than the actual relationships or concepts being depicted in the matrix diagram. Overall, B is the best answer because it encompasses all three key components (factors, causes, and objectives) necessary to accurately depict relationships in a matrix diagram.
