Solution

Correct Answer: (ii) Built-and-fix model

Explanation

Built-and-Fix (also called Build-and-Fix / Ad-hoc / Code-and-Fix):

  • No formal design, just code → fix until works.
  • Students use it for small assignments due to no planning overhead, immediate coding.

Other models too heavy for student programs:

  • Waterfall needs full documentation
  • Spiral/RUP are for large industrial projects.

Hence most popular for student programs is Build-and-Fix (though not recommended for professional work).

Answer: (ii) Built-and-fix model
