At what stage in the software development lifecycle do multi$-$agent systems have the greatest impact?

Group of answer choices

During the testing and debugging phase, where agents work independently to find errors in the code.

In the deployment phase, where agents ensure that software modules work correctly.

In the development phase, as agents are only useful for generating and compiling code.

In the initial design phase only, since agents cannot handle complex tasks after this stage.

Throughout the entire lifecycle, from requirement analysis to deployment, as multi$-$agent systems can handle modular tasks and planning, improving collaboration and resource management.
