Correct answer: B. Constructive cost model

Explanation

COCOMO is the acronym for the COnstructive COst MOdel, proposed by Barry Boehm in 1981 and later revised as COCOMO II. It is an empirical, algorithmic estimation model that predicts effort as Effort = a × (KLOC)b person-months, with the constants a and b depending on whether the project is organic, semi-detached or embedded. None of the other expansions corresponds to any recognised estimation model, so option (ii) is correct.
