Correct answer: B
Correct answer: Functional cohesion, Sequential cohesion, and Communicational cohesion are better than Procedural cohesion.
Functional cohesion — strongest: a module performs a single, well-defined task. This is higher (better) than Procedural cohesion.
Sequential cohesion — the output of one part is the input to another; this ordering and data flow make it stronger than Procedural cohesion.
Communicational cohesion — parts operate on the same data set; this is generally stronger than Procedural cohesion.
Why the other types are not better than Procedural cohesion:
Temporal cohesion — grouping by timing (e.g., startup tasks) is weaker than Procedural cohesion.
Logical cohesion — grouping by similar kinds of operations selected by a control flag is weaker than Procedural cohesion.
Typical cohesion strength order (best to worst):
Functional
Sequential
Communicational
Procedural
Temporal
Logical
Coincidental
