Which of the following is NOT a common type of business report a computing student might prepare?

• A. Progress report
• B. Feasibility study
• C. System/requirements specification
• D. Marketing analysis report

Answer: (D)

This question tests which type of business report is not typically prepared by a computing student. The common kinds reflect the project and software development process: a progress report summarizes status, milestones, and what remains to be done; a feasibility study assesses whether a project is viable technically, economically, and operationally; a system or requirements specification defines what the system must do, its features, and the constraints to guide development. A marketing analysis report, however, centers on market conditions, customer segments, and competitive strategy, which are outside the core scope of technical development work. So while marketing analysis might appear in business contexts, it isn’t usually a primary deliverable for computing coursework, making it the least typical among these options.
