A Correct answer
Explanation

In Linux kernel versioning (e.g., 2.4.x, 2.5.x, 2.6.x), even-numbered minor versions (2.4, 2.6) are stable releases, while odd-numbered minor versions (2.3, 2.5) are development/testing branches. Development kernels introduce experimental features and may be unstable. This convention helped users distinguish between production-ready and experimental kernels.
