Solution

Correct Answer: (i) Process specialization

Explanation

Types of Specialization (from Software Reuse / Sommerville):

  • Process specialization - Same system adapted to different business processes (centralized vs distributed ordering) - This example
  • Platform specialization - Adapted to different hardware/OS
  • Environment specialization - Adapted to different operational environments
  • Functional specialization - Adding/removing functions

Here ordering process differs → Process specialization.

Answer: (i) Process specialization
