I thought RAD was more of a one-off thing.

Wait, are we sure about the V-model?

I'm a bit confused; I thought the V-model had some iterative aspects too, but maybe I mixed it up with something else.

I feel like I saw a practice question that mentioned both Agile and RAD as iterative, so I think C could be right.

I remember studying that the Waterfall model is more linear, so it can't be iterative.

I think the Agile development model is definitely iterative, but I'm not sure about the Rapid Application Development model.

I think the key is identifying which models involve repeated cycles of development, testing, and feedback. That points me towards (ii) and (iv).

I'm pretty confident (ii) Rapid Application Development and (iv) Agile are the iterative models here. The others seem more linear in approach.

I'm a bit confused about the V-model and Waterfall model. Are they considered iterative? I'll have to review those.

Okay, let's see. Iterative models involve repeated cycles, so (ii) Rapid Application Development and (iv) Agile seem like good options.

Hmm, this one's tricky. I'll need to think carefully about the definitions of these software development models.

Seriously, who keeps putting the Waterfall model on these exams? It's about as iterative as a brick wall. I'm going with C, just to mess with the test writers.

Okay, let's see... Rapid Application Development and Agile, those make sense. The rest are a bit sketchy, but I'll go with C.

I'm pretty sure the V-model is more like a zigzag than an iteration. But hey, what do I know? I'm just here for the snacks.
