Correct Answer

(1) Change analysis and impact assessment
(2) Release planning (deciding which changes to include)
(3) System implementation (designing, building, and validating the changes)
(4) System release to customers

The general evolution process proceeds: change analysis and impact assessment first, followed by release planning to decide which proposed changes are included, then system implementation to build and validate them, and finally release to customers, after which the cycle begins again.
