Answer: C
Function point analysis is a measure of the size of an
information system based on the number and complexity of the
inputs, outputs and files that a user sees and interacts
with. Function points are used in a manner analogous to
lines of code as a measure of software productivity, quality
and other attributes. PERT is a network management technique
used in both the planning and control of projects. RAD is a
methodology that enables organizations to develop
strategically important systems faster while reducing
development costs and maintaining quality. CPM is used by
network management techniques, such as PERT, in computing a
critical path.
