๐ย : Software Reengineering is preferable for software products having high failure rates, having poor design and/or having poor code structure.
๐ย : Software Reverse Engineering is the process of analyzing software with the objective of recovering its design and requirement specification.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Final answer: Both statements are true.
Why the first statement is true: Reengineering refers to restructuring, redesigning, or otherwise improving an existing software product to address issues such as high failure rates, poor design, or poor code structure. It is commonly applied to legacy or poorly maintained systems to improve maintainability, reliability, and quality.
Why the second statement is true: Reverse engineering is the process of analyzing a software system to recover its design, architecture, and requirements when those artifacts are missing, outdated, or not documented. This description matches the statement about recovering design and requirement specification.
Relation between the two: Reverse engineering is often used to extract the necessary understanding (design and requirements) from an existing system, and that understanding can then support reengineering efforts to improve the system. Thus both statements are accurate and complementary.
