The Workforce Management business process contains which shard components?

Oracle Time and Labor’s Workforce Management business process is logically “sharded” into four components that partition setup data and transactions for performance and security.
1. Repeating Time Periods – stores calendar periods used across all time objects.
2. Time Attributes – holds attribute‐based metadata that drives layouts, validation, and rules.
3. Time Repository – the transactional store for reported, calculated, and approved time.
4. Time Consumers – downstream applications (Payroll, Projects, Absence, etc.) that retrieve processed time. No other object (e.g., the Data Dictionary) is identified by Oracle documentation as a shard component.

A. Omits Time Attributes and Time Consumers; Data Dictionary is not defined as a shard component.
B. Omits Time Consumers; incomplete list.
C. Swaps in Data Dictionary and omits Time Attributes; inaccurate composition of shard components.
