AVerification asks 'right thing?'; validation asks 'right way?'
BVerification asks 'right way?'; validation asks 'right thing?'
CVerification and validation mean the same thing
DVerification is by users; validation by developers
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Verification asks 'right way?'; validation asks 'right thing?'
Verification = static checks (review, walkthrough, inspection) against specs ('built right').
Validation = dynamic execution to confirm fitness for purpose ('right thing built').
Done by developers/QA early; testers later.
