What is the correct term for a change or alteration made to something?

Affirmation
Modification
Stagnation
Restoration

The correct answer is: Modification

The term "modification" specifically refers to a change or alteration made to something, indicating that it has been adjusted or improved in some way. This term is widely used across various contexts, including law, design, and corrections, to denote alterations that can enhance functionality or address specific needs. In contrast, "affirmation" typically pertains to the act of confirming or validating something rather than changing it. "Stagnation" suggests a lack of movement or progress, which is opposite to the concept of modification, as it implies remaining unchanged. "Restoration" refers to returning something to its original state or condition, rather than changing or altering it, which differentiates it from the concept of modification where an alteration is made. Thus, modification is the appropriate term to describe a change or alteration in general.
