multiple choice

Explanation:

A prototype is typically created early in the software - development lifecycle to test concepts and gather feedback. The planning phase focuses on defining the project scope, requirements, etc. and is too early for a prototype. Maintenance is for fixing and improving an existing software. Coding is for writing the actual code of the final product. Testing is for checking the functionality of the developed software. The prototype is usually created during the design phase which comes before coding and testing, but among the given options, the closest is the coding phase as it starts to give a tangible form to the software concept.
