Answer 1

The description emphasizes the ability of the software to adapt to changing volumes of data processing corresponding to the business size (small or large). This ability to handle growth and increased load effectively is known as Scalability. \begin{itemize} \item[(A)] Scalability: The capability of a system to handle a growing amount of work, or its potential to be enlarged to accommodate that growth. This perfectly matches the description. \item[(B)] Simple: Relates to ease of use. \item[(C)] Speed: Relates to processing time. \item[(D)] Reliability: Relates to consistency and dependability. \end{itemize} The key concept highlighted is the adaptation to different sizes and volumes, which is scalability.
