14. What is the effect of changing application source code? If you agree with the statement CLICK the buttons that apply for a YES

What is the effect of changing application source code? If you agree with the statement CLICK the buttons that apply for a YES 1. It causes the program to operate differently than the original

2. It requires the user to hire programmers to make the changes

3. The application software modules in each country become more divergent as time goes on

4. Changes to data elements cause the modules to be non - interoperable with the same modules in other countries.

5. Do you think that these are desirable effects?
