Another model that allows two software components to communicate with each other independent
of their platforms operating systems and languages of implementation is:

A.
Basic Object Model (BOM)

B.
Sandbox

C.
Common Object Model (COM)

D.
Spiral Model

Explanation:
As in the object-oriented paradigm, COM works with encapsulated objects. Communications with a
COM object are through an interface contract between an object and its clients that defines the
functions that are available in the object and the behavior of the object when the functions are
calleD. *Answer a sandbox, is an access control-based protection mechanism. It is commonly applied
to restrict the access rights of mobile code that is downloaded from a Web site as an applet. The
code is set up to run in a sandbox that blocks its access to the local workstations hard disk, thus

preventing the code from malicious activity. The sandbox is usually interpreted by a virtual machine
such as the Java Virtual MachinE. *Answer BOM is a distracter. * Spiral Model refers to the software
development life cycle.
