Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Correct matching:

  • Version — An instance of a system that differs in some way from other instances. Versions represent different revisions or states (for example, v1.0, v1.1).

  • Release — An instance of a system that is distributed to customers. A release is the packaged deliverable intended for deployment or use by end users.

  • Variant — An instance of a system which is functionally identical to other instances but designed for different hardware or software environments (platform-specific builds or configurations).

Why this is correct: Versions capture differences over time or revisions; releases are the units sent to customers; variants are alternate builds for different target environments. Any mapping that swaps these meanings confuses revision/state, distribution, and platform-specific builds.
