Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. A ‐ IV, B ‐ I, C ‐ II, D ‐ III

Explanation

Waterfall partitions the project inflexibly into stages; evolutionary models develop software incrementally; component-based engineering must compromise requirements to fit available components; the spiral model explicitly recognizes risk.
