Correct answer: D. Size-Oriented Metrics
Explanation
The question repeats Pressman's own definition: size-oriented metrics are derived by normalising quality and/or productivity measures by considering the size of the software produced, usually in KLOC. That gives ratios such as errors per KLOC, defects per KLOC, cost per KLOC and pages of documentation per KLOC. Function-oriented metrics normalise the same measures by functionality instead of size, using function points as the unit, so options 1 and 2 describe the opposite approach. "Line of code metrics" is not the standard name of this family. Hence option 4.More Database Management Systems questions
