Therefore, option D is the most appropriate choice. Option A (KMS) refers to systems designed to support knowledge management activities within an organization. Option B (enterprise system) is a general term used for all types of integrated systems that support various business functions. Option C (MIS) is a generic term for all types of information systems designed to support managerial decision-making activities within an organization. Option E (cross-functional system) is a system that spans multiple functional areas within a single organization, rather than across multiple organizations.
