a. They initiate product design after concept development is complete.
b. They enhance the probability that R&D will design products that are difficult to manufacture.
c. They require costly iterations between design stages.
d. They shorten overall cycle time.

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "D": They shorten overall cycle time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel development takes place when more than one object is being developed at the same time. This is usually done one those objects are complementary among them so that the improvement of one of them requires the update of other(s). By developing those objects simultaneously, there are higher possibilities that the objects will keep working efficiently.
