(002) Right-sized unit type codes (UTC) are scalable and
- A.
A. sustainable.
- B.
B. deployable.
- C.
C. modular.
- D.
D. tailored.
Correct Answer
C. C. modular.Explanation
Right-sized unit type codes (UTC) being scalable means that they can be adjusted or expanded according to the needs or demands of a particular situation or context. However, this does not necessarily imply that they are sustainable or deployable. On the other hand, being modular means that the UTC can be easily broken down into smaller components or modules, which can be rearranged or combined in different ways. This flexibility and adaptability make modular UTCs the most suitable choice in this scenario. The term "tailored" does not accurately describe the concept of UTCs being scalable and adaptable. Therefore, the correct answer is c. modular.Rate this question:
