Correct Answer: D Peer review and approval is a practice that involves having other developers or experts review the code before it is deployed or released. Peer review and approval can help detect and prevent malicious code, errors, bugs, vulnerabilities, and poor quality in the development process. Peer review and approval can also enforce coding standards, best practices, and compliance requirements. Peer review and approval can be done manually or with the help of tools, such as code analysis, code review, and code signing.

The key word here is prevent. Code scanning reveals vulnerabilities that are already introduced to a system. Peer reviews are intended to check code prior to intruduction in a production system.

Selected Answer: D
Peer reviews help catch malicious code before it is integrated into the production environment by having multiple sets of eyes on the changes, reducing the chance of any one developer slipping harmful code through the process.
