The specific advantage of white box testing is that it:

A. verifies a program can operate successfully with other parts of the system.
B. ensures a program's functional operating effectiveness without regard to the internal program structure.
C. determines procedural accuracy or conditions of a program's specific logic paths.
D. examines a program's functionality by executing it in a tightly controlled or virtual environment with restricted access to the host system.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Explanation:
White box testing assesses the effectiveness of software program logic. Specifically, test data are used in determining procedural accuracy or conditions of a program’s logic paths. Verifying the program can operate successfully with other parts of the system is sociability testing. Testing the program’s functionality without knowledge of internal structures is black box testing. Controlled testing of programs in a semi-debugged environment, either heavily controlled step-by-step or via monitoring in virtual machines, is sand box testing.
