Answer: A

Explanation:

There are two main types of specification: performance specification and conformance specification (sometimes called prescriptive or technical specifications). Performance specifications have following features:

– Focus on outputs

– Set out result to be achieved

– The ‘what’, not the ‘how’

– Give supplier flexibility to present solutions that the buyer may not have considered
