What does deploying software mean?

• A. To delete a version from servers
• B. To fix a bug in codebase
• C. To release a new version of software
• D. To test software in isolation

Answer: (C)

Deploying software means delivering and installing a built version so it runs in a real environment and is usable by users. It’s the step of making a new release available in production or a staging area, so the software can be accessed and used. That’s why releasing a new version of software best fits deployment. The other actions aren’t it: deleting a version removes it; fixing a bug is debugging/maintenance; testing in isolation is testing, not putting the software into use.
