OMG Exam OMG-OCUP2-FOUND100 Topic 6 Question 32 Discussion

In UML 2, the dashed arrow with an open arrowhead represents a dependency relationship. In the context of class diagrams, a dependency relationship indicates that changes to one class (the independent class) may cause changes in the other class (the dependent class). The direction of the arrow specifies which class is dependent on which. In the given diagram, the arrow points from class A to class B, which means that class A is dependent on class B. This could manifest as class A using some services or functions of class B, for example.
