- D.
Content coupling

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Stamp coupling occurs when modules share a complex data structure but operate on different parts of it. This differs from data coupling, which passes only necessary elements, or control/content coupling involving flags or internal access. Therefore, the correct term for sharing a common data type with different operations is stamp coupling.
