What term refers to a change that improves performance after testing?

• A. Development
• B. Optimization
• C. Modification
• D. Evaluation

Answer: (C)

When you test something and then make a change to improve how it performs, that change is called a modification. It’s a specific adjustment made to the design or component after seeing the test results, aimed at boosting performance.

Evaluation is the process of assessing how well something performs. Development is more about creating or adding new features or versions. Optimization is the overall activity of making something as good as possible, usually involving multiple improvements. A single tweak to enhance performance after testing fits best with the idea of a modification.
