Which resource documents a set of capabilities (behaviors) of a FHIR Server for a particular version of FHIR?

Explanation:
CapabilityStatement describes the set of capabilities and behaviors a FHIR server exposes for a given FHIR version. It outlines what interactions and operations are supported for each resource, which search parameters are accepted, and any security or messaging capabilities. This metadata lets a client understand how to interact with the server, what resources exist, and how to construct valid requests. The other resources—data models like Patient or Observation—are used to represent clinical information, not to describe what the server can do. A Bundle is simply a container for grouping resources, not a description of server capabilities.
