The diagram shows a system architecture that integrates multiple reusable components.

What does this architecture illustrate about reuse-oriented systems?

The application layer coordinates and integrates multiple heterogeneous reusable components.

All functionality must be implemented in a single monolithic component.

Only web services can be reused; other components must be rewritten.

Reusable components cannot coexist in the same system.

The application layer coordinates and integrates multiple heterogeneous reusable components.

Reuse-oriented architectures often have an application layer that orchestrates different types of reusable components.
