The correct option is B Debugging

Debugging is correcting errors in a program called.

Correcting errors : Either debugging or fault/defect correction or maintenance. In general developers talk about debugging to cover both finding the bug and correcting the errors, even if a debugging tool is not used during the process at all.

Debugging is the process of finding and resolving defects or problems within a computer program that prevent correct operation of computer software or a system.Debugging tactics can involve interactive debugging, control flow analysis, unit testing, integration testing, log file analysis, monitoring at the application or system level, memory dumps, and profiling.

Debugging is the process of detecting and removing of existing and potential errors (also called as ‘bugs’) in a software code that can cause it to behave unexpectedly or crash. To prevent incorrect operation of a software or system, debugging is used to find and resolve bugs or defects. When various subsystems or modules are tightly coupled, debugging becomes harder as any change in one module may cause more bugs to appear in another. Sometimes it takes more time to debug a program than to code it.
