Answer
- B Open source allows your own review but guarantees nothing
- D Proprietary software depends on the vendor for patches
Explanation
Open code can be reviewed by many, but that does not mean anyone does. With proprietary software, the vendor determines the speed and scope of fixes. Maintenance, updates and support matter, not the license model alone.
