Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: All three statements are correct. Fourth-generation techniques control effort, resources, and development cost.
Why:
They reduce effort: Fourth-generation techniques provide higher-level abstractions, code generators, and reusable components, so developers write less low-level code and spend less time on routine tasks.
They control resources: Automation and reuse lower the need for large teams and reduce time on hardware, tools, and other resources, enabling more efficient resource allocation.
They reduce development cost: Less effort and faster delivery, plus fewer defects from standardized components, translate into lower development and maintenance costs.
Therefore, all three statements about fourth-generation techniques are true.
