Which of the following is listed as a development activity for complex technology networks?

• A. Design of complex technology networks
• B. Market analysis
• C. Employee onboarding
• D. Compliance auditing

Answer: (A)

Designing complex technology networks is a development activity because it involves creating and shaping the network’s architecture—deciding how components will connect, how data will flow, what interfaces and protocols will be used, and how to ensure security, scalability, and interoperability. This planning and building phase lays the foundation for a functioning system.

Market analysis focuses on business viability and market needs, not on building the network itself. Employee onboarding is an HR process to integrate new staff, not a technical design task. Compliance auditing is about verifying adherence to standards after deployment, not the creation of the network.

So, the act of designing the network aligns with development work, while the others pertain to analysis, human resources, or governance activities.
