Question
An organization upgrades a SharePoint 2010 environme custom applications in the destination nt to SharePoint 2013. A site collection is running in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode.

- Content query web parts
- Subsites

Why each option
Upgrading the site collection to SharePoint 2013 native mode is the direct method to verify that list views, web parts, content query web parts, and subsites behave correctly in the new version.
Upgrading the site collection moves it out of SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode into SharePoint 2013 native mode, which is the only way to accurately verify how all listed features render and function under the new UI and engine. While this does change the user experience, it is the definitive test of native-mode compatibility for all specified components.
A database attach upgrade is a migration method for moving content between farms or environments, not a technique for testing feature compatibility within an existing upgraded farm.
The Visual Upgrade option was a SharePoint 2010 feature that allowed toggling between old and new UI within that version - it does not exist in SharePoint 2013 as a mechanism for preview testing.
An upgrade evaluation site collection generates a separate read-only copy for preview purposes, but it does not fully validate interactive features like task assignments or custom web part behavior under production conditions.
