Answer: A
"Production programs are used for processing an enterprise's
data. It is imperative that controls on changes to
production programs be stringent. Lack of control in this
area could result in application programs being modified to
manipulate the data. Application programmers are required to
implement changes to test programs. These are used only in
development and do not directly impact the live processing
of data. Operations support staff implementing changes to
batch schedules will affect the scheduling of the batches only
this does not impact the live data. Database administrators
are required to implement changes to data structures. This
is required for reorganization of the database to allow for
additions, modifications or deletions of fields or tables in
the database."
