Selected Answer: D
D. Source code escrows Source code escrow is a contractual arrangement in which the source code of a software application is deposited with a third-party escrow agent. This ensures that if the software company goes out of business or otherwise fails to maintain the software, the source code can be accessed by the organization using the software, allowing them to continue maintaining and updating the application.
