- E.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
Software-maintenance categories are classified by the trigger for the change. Corrective work repairs discovered faults; adaptive work responds to a changed operating environment; perfective work adds or refines user-facing requirements; and preventive work improves future maintainability. Scheduled and rescue maintenance further describe whether work is planned or urgent.
Application
The statement assigns new or changed user requirements to adaptive maintenance. That trigger belongs to perfective maintenance; adaptive maintenance instead responds to environmental changes such as operating systems, hardware, interfaces, regulations, or business rules.
Contrast
Corrective Maintenance deals with discovered bugs or defects and restores intended operation.
Scheduled Maintenance is anticipated and arranged in advance.
Rescue Maintenance is unplanned work for previously undetected malfunctions or sudden changes that require an immediate solution.
Question not attempted records a response status rather than making a maintenance claim.
Cross-check
This is RPSC Programmer Paper-II 2024, Question 86. RPSC’s final answer key marks answer 3 (one-based), corresponding to the statement about Adaptive Maintenance; the underlying maintenance definitions classify changed user requirements as Perfective Maintenance and previously undetected urgent malfunctions as Rescue Maintenance.
Result
Therefore, “Adaptive Maintenance mainly deals with accommodating to the new or changed user requirements” is the statement that is not correct.
