Why each option

The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) typically begins with the Initiation phase, where the project's purpose and scope are defined.

A1. InitiationCorrect

The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) typically starts with the Initiation phase, where the need for a system is identified, and the project's goals, scope, and feasibility are defined. This foundational phase precedes all other development activities.

B1. Acquisition/Development

Acquisition/Development is a later phase in the SDLC, occurring after initiation, requirements gathering, and design.

C1. Initiation

This choice is identical to A, indicating 'Initiation' as the first phase, which is correct.

D1. Implementation

Implementation is a later phase in the SDLC, where the system is built or installed and configured, following design and development.
