Hi, as you have posted multiple questions, we could answer only the first question as per guidelines. Kindly, specify the question you want to be answered and repost the question. Thanks!

Answer1:

The correct option is B) system selection.

When the vendor is asked for a visit by an organization, it invites the vendor to exhibit the system. It is part of the first step of the information system life cycle. This step or phase is called the planning and selection phase. In this phase, vendors are evaluated against the set criteria that are required by the organization. Vendors may be eliminated based on the system requirement and features.

Option A) is incorrect as the assessment is done in the maintenance phase of the information system life cycle.

Option C) is incorrect because the implementation is the later phase of the life cycle. This stage marks the finalisation of system selection and includes the implementation of the system.

Option D) is incorrect as in the maintenance phase any change required for the system is implemented. It is the post-implementation phase.
