Suppose the interactions between certain critical components of a distributed system being
developed involve a new technology. Which of the following is the BEST way to identify and
reduce the associated technological risks?

A.
Build prototypes that focus on the interaction between the components in order to better
understand them.

B.
Factor the risk into the architecture design, and proceed with the development, in order to save
time and effort spent on prototyping.

C.
Schedule the project in such a way that the component interactions are handled later, when the
technology is more mature.

D.
Build prototypes that focus on developing the individual components, because well-designed
components imply good interactions between them.
