When building advanced CMDB queries using CMDB Query Builder in ServiceNow, the correct approach is to model CI scope, relationships, and task context explicitly on the canvas.
To limit results to databases in a specific location, the administrator must filter the Database CI node by the Location attribute. Therefore, Option C is required to scope the query to Database CIs where Location = Seattle.
To include Incidents related to those databases, the Incident table must be added from the Non- CMDB Tables list and linked through the task_ci relationship. This is exactly what Option A provides. CMDB Query Builder separates CMDB tables (CIs) from task and transactional tables, so incidents must be explicitly added from the Non-CMDB section.
