A Sandbox is used in software development to:

  1. Isolate untested code changes from the production environment

  2. Improve the service quality of a network

  3. Enforce security policies in network devices

  4. Store sensitive application data securely

The correct answer is: Isolate untested code changes from the production environment

A sandbox in software development serves primarily as an isolated environment that allows developers to test untested code changes without risking any negative impact on the production environment. The purpose of this isolation is to provide a safe space where developers can experiment, run tests, and debug their code, ensuring that any potential issues or bugs do not affect the live system that end-users interact with. This approach enhances the stability and security of the production environment, as developers can thoroughly evaluate new features or changes before they are integrated into the main application. By using a sandbox, teams can maintain a clean and secure production environment while working on new developments. In contrast, enhancing service quality, enforcing security policies, or securely storing sensitive data are objectives tied to different areas of network management or security practices. They do not specifically relate to the primary function of a sandbox in software development.
