Size can be measured in ____
A
SLOC
B
LOC
C
SSLOC
D
SALOC
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: LOC or Line of Code is a direct measure to estimate project size.

Detailed explanation-2: -Software size is principally measured in function points. It can also be measured in lines of code, or specifically, source lines of code (SLOC) which is functional code excluding comments. Whilst measuring SLOC is interesting, it is more an indication of effort than functionality.

Detailed explanation-3: -Source lines of code (SLOC), also known as lines of code (LOC), is a software metric used to measure the size of a computer program by counting the number of lines in the text of the program’s source code.

Detailed explanation-4: -Historically, the most common software sizing methodology has been counting the lines of code written in the application source. Another approach is to do Functional Size Measurement, to express the functionality size as a number by performing function point analysis. The original sizing method is the IFPUG.

Detailed explanation-5: -The software industry uses various sizing techniques to quantify the software size. They are Lines of code, Function points, Feature points, Use case points, Object points, Internet points, etc. These sizing techniques are programming language dependent or programming methodology dependent.
