Explain the difference between Waterfall and Agile methodologies.

• Waterfall and Agile both involve working on multiple tasks simultaneously.

• Waterfall is fast and efficient, while Agile is slow and cumbersome.

• Waterfall and Agile are the same thing, just with different names.

• Waterfall is linear and sequential, while Agile is iterative and flexible.

What is the concept of inheritance in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)?

• Inheritance is the concept of a class inheriting properties from a new class.

• Inheritance is the concept of a class inheriting properties and behaviors from multiple existing classes.

• Inheritance refers to the process of creating a new class from an existing class.

• Inheritance is the concept of a new class inheriting properties and behaviors from an existing class.

Describe the waterfall model and the spiral model in software engineering methodologies.

• The waterfall model is a linear and sequential approach to software development, while the spiral model is a risk-driven process model that combines iterative and controlled aspects.

• The waterfall model is an agile approach to software development, while the spiral model is a flexible and adaptive process model.

• The waterfall model is a risk-driven process model that combines iterative and controlled aspects, while the spiral model is a linear and sequential approach to software development.

• The waterfall model is an incremental and iterative approach to software development, while the spiral model is a linear and sequential process model.
