Correct answer: A
Concept
A software development life cycle separates work into phases so that requirements, design, implementation, and post-deployment work have distinct purposes.
The implementation or development phase converts an approved design into executable source code; documentation records how the implemented system is built and used.
Application
The stem asks specifically where actual programming occurs. The value “Development and documentation” includes the development activity in which programmers write, integrate, and document source code from the design specifications.
Contrast
Analysis identifies and refines requirements and constraints before implementation.
Design specifies architecture, interfaces, data structures, and algorithms that guide implementation.
Maintenance changes and evaluates software after it has been deployed.
Result
Therefore, the phase represented by “Development and documentation” is where the actual programming is done.
