Software maintenance — it covers modifications made after development and release.

Maintenance includes correcting defects, adapting software to changed environments or rules, improving performance or maintainability, and adding or revising capabilities after the system enters use. It continues throughout the operational life of the software.

Answer (c)

Why not others:
- (a) Computerization planning decides broad business and IT direction before development

- (b) System operation runs and monitors the system but is not the term for changing its programs

Key rule: Work after delivery divides into operation, which runs the system, and maintenance, which changes it to correct, adapt, or improve it.
