What might program modularization involve when a system uses several different data stores?

Deleting all the data stores without any replacement

Adding even more separate data stores to increase redundancy

Architectural refactoring to consolidate the system to use a single repository instead of multiple data stores

Renaming all variables in the program to single letters

Correct Answer

Architectural refactoring to consolidate the system to use a single repository instead of multiple data stores

Explanation

Program modularization groups related parts of the program together and removes redundancy where appropriate. In some cases, this may involve architectural refactoring, such as consolidating a system that uses several different data stores into a single unified repository.
