Which of the following aspects are true of waterfall as compared to agile? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is C. In waterfall, solution validation occurs later in the development cycle. E. Waterfall is less tolerant to changes in scope. Waterfall is a linear, sequential methodology where each phase (requirements, design, development, testing, deployment) must complete before the next begins. This means solution validation (testing) happens late in the cycle - only after development is fully complete (C)…

Explanation
Waterfall is a linear, sequential methodology where each phase (requirements, design, development, testing, deployment) must complete before the next begins. This means solution validation (testing) happens late in the cycle - only after development is fully complete (C). Because phases are rigid and requirements are locked upfront, waterfall is also far less tolerant of scope changes; altering requirements mid-project is expensive and disruptive (E). By contrast, Agile embraces change, uses iterative sprints, prioritizes working software over documentation, and fosters continuous customer collaboration - making A, B, D, and F characteristics of Agile, not waterfall.
