E) waterfall

Accepted Answer

The waterfall method is a traditional software development process where requirements are defined up front, and the project progresses through a sequence of phases including design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. This approach assumes that all requirements can be gathered before any design or coding occurs, leading to a single release at the end of the process.
