What does it mean when an application reaches its end of support?

The application will be enhanced with new features
The application will no longer receive updates or support from developers
The application will continue to function indefinitely
The application is being replaced with a new version

The correct answer is: The application will no longer receive updates or support from developers

When an application reaches its end of support, it signifies that the developers have officially ceased providing updates, patches, and any other forms of assistance for that application. This means that users will no longer receive bug fixes, security updates, or technical support, which can significantly impact the application’s security and functionality over time. As vulnerabilities are discovered, the lack of updates can leave the application exposed to risks, increasing the likelihood of security breaches or performance issues. The other options suggest actions that will or could happen regarding the application, which do not reflect the reality of reaching the end of support. Enhancements or new features are not expected, continued functionality is not guaranteed without support, and while a replacement may occur, it does not mean the original application will still have active support.
