Explanation
Programming and Training (A) is correct because this is the SDLC phase where developers take the design specifications and translate them into actual, working software - the system components are faithfully built to match what was documented in the design. Training also occurs here, preparing users and staff for the new system.
Evaluation and Acceptance (B) is wrong because this phase comes after programming - it tests and validates the completed system against requirements rather than building it.
Definition (C) is wrong because this phase focuses on gathering and documenting requirements, not on implementing or incorporating anything into actual software.
Initiation (D) is wrong because this is the earliest phase, concerned with identifying the need for a system and conducting feasibility analysis - no actual development occurs yet.
Memory tip: Think of "Programming" as the P in "Put the plan into practice" - it's the phase where paper designs become real, working code. If the question mentions building or implementing what was specified, that's Programming.
