Question

Which of the following is true?

(a) Module coupling should be maximized

(b) Module cohesion should be minimized

(c) Modules should not have access to unneeded resources

(d) Design with small modules are not better

I have been asked this question in a national level competition.

The origin of the question is Modularity Principles in portion Unified Modelling Language of Software Architecture

Answer 1

Right answer is (c) Modules should not have access to unneeded resources

The best explanation: Module coupling should be minimized,  module cohesion should be maximized,  design with small modules are always better,  modules should not access unneeded resources( principle of least privilege).
