• C. Rough Application Development
• D. Rough Action Development

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rapid Application Development

RAD is a linear sequential software development process model.

The Rapid Application Development (RAD) model is based on prototyping and iterative model with no (or less) specific planning. In general, RAD approach to software development means putting lesser emphasis on planning tasks and more emphasis on development and coming up with a prototype. In disparity to the waterfall model, which emphasizes meticulous specification and planning, the RAD approach means building on continuously evolving requirements, as more and more learnings are drawn as the development progresses.
