The extent to which subsystems depend on each other refers to:
A) modularity.
B) coupling.
C) decomposition.
D) dependence.
E) cohesion.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B) Modularity dictates that a system is broken down into chunks. Coupling describes the concept of the extent to which systems depend on one another. Decomposition is the process of breaking a system down into smaller pieces to work on one part at a time. Cohesion describes the extent to which a system performs one function. Dependence is not really a term defined in the text. The only logical choice is coupling.
