D Correct answer
Explanation

Security must be integrated throughout the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Addressing security early in design and continuing through deployment is more cost-effective and results in more secure applications than late-stage fixes.

AI explanation

Application security is not a bolt-on step — it needs to be considered throughout the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), from requirements and design through coding, testing, and deployment/maintenance. Treating security as only a coding concern or only a testing concern misses vulnerabilities introduced at other phases, such as insecure design decisions or misconfigurations at deployment.
