In Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs), both data stores and data flows are represented with unique symbols. However, the question asks for pairs of items that would be represented with the same symbol. "Initial sketch" and "price quote" are both examples of data or information that flows between processes (e.g., between the painter and the customer), making them both data flows.
