Matt, a developer, recently attended a workshop on a new application. The developer installs the
new application on a production system to test the functionality. Which of the following is MOST
likely affected?

A.
Application design

B.
Application security

C.
Initial baseline configuration

D.
Management of interfaces

Explanation:
The initial baseline configuration of a computer system is an agreed configuration for the
computer. For example, the initial baseline configuration will list what operating system he
computer will run, what software applications and patches will be installed and what configuration
settings should be applied to the system.
In this question, we are installing a new software application on a server. After the installation of
the software, the “configuration” of the server (installed software, settings etc) is now different from

the initial baseline configuration.
