Detailed explanation-1: -Line of Code is used to know the ‘absolute size’ of the software code. Answer should be option b.)
Detailed explanation-2: -LOC is used for calculating and comparing the productivity of programmers. In general, people prefer the functional size of software indicated as Function Point for one very important reason, i.e, the size expressed using the Function point metric stays constant in any case and whichever language or languages are used.
Detailed explanation-3: -A function point is a “unit of measurement” used to express the amount of business functionality an information system (as a product) provides to a user. Function points are used to compute a functional size measurement (FSM) of software.
Detailed explanation-4: -The advantages are as follows:-It is widely used and universally accepted.-It permits comparison of size and productivity metrics between diverse development groups.-It directly relates to the end product.-LOC are easily measured upon project completion.
