What is an advantage of the Agile software development method as compared to Waterfall?
The correct answer is C. In Agile every aspect of development is continually revisited, and in Waterfall the revision takes.

Explanation
A core Agile principle is iterative, continuous improvement - requirements, design, code, and testing are all revisited in every sprint (typically 1–4 weeks). This allows teams to adapt quickly to changing requirements. In Waterfall, the process is linear and sequential: each phase (requirements → design → implementation → testing → deployment) is completed before the next begins, so revisiting earlier phases is costly and uncommon. Agile does NOT deliver the whole project at once (that is Waterfall's big-bang release), and customer involvement in Agile is continuous, not limited to requirements collection.
