Final answer:
The iterative model emphasizes that the product may need to pass through the same phase multiple times, in a cyclical fashion.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that accurately describes a SDLC model is option b. The iterative model emphasizes that the product may need to pass through the same phase multiple times, in a cyclical fashion.
In the spiral model, prototyping is emphasized as part of the cyclical process. This means that as the design is developed, prototyped, and evaluated, changes are made to the design based on the improved understanding. After changing the design, the process of prototyping and evaluating is repeated.
