What is a major difference between a Group and a Component?
- A.
Altering a Group entity will change all instances (copies) of that Group.
- B.
There is no difference. These terms are identical.
- C.
Altering a Component entity will not change all instances (copies) of that Component.
- D.
Altering a Component entity will change all instances (copies) of that Component.
Correct Answer
D. Altering a Component entity will change all instances (copies) of that Component.Explanation
A major difference between a Group and a Component is that altering a Component entity will change all instances (copies) of that Component. This means that any changes made to a Component will be reflected in all the copies of that Component throughout the design. On the other hand, altering a Group entity will not have the same effect, as changes made to a Group will not automatically propagate to all the instances of that Group.Rate this question:
