Sort the four modeling perspectives from the most external/environmental view to the most internal/behavioral view.

Structural perspective (class diagrams)
External perspective (context model)
Behavioral perspective (state diagrams, activity diagrams)
Interaction perspective (use cases, sequence diagrams)

Correct Answer

(1) External perspective (context model)
(2) Interaction perspective (use cases, sequence diagrams)
(3) Structural perspective (class diagrams)
(4) Behavioral perspective (state diagrams, activity diagrams)

Explanation

The four perspectives move from outside to inside: External (the context and environment of the system), Interaction (how the system interacts with its environment and internal components), Structural (the organization and data structure of the system), and Behavioral (how the system responds dynamically to events and data - the innermost view of system execution).
