Universal Containers (UC) has multiple teams with major projects workingconcurrently in their own developer sandboxes. After deploying to production, a bug isdiscovered. Due to tight timelines, the development team has suggested correcting the bug in the user acceptance testing (UAT) environment, which is a full copy sandbox.What should the architect recommend?

• UC should spin up a new sandbox to use as a hot fix environment. Once the bug is corrected, the change should be applied to production and downstream environments.
• The fix should be made in the developer environment where the project work was done. Once the fix has been made, it should go through a full deployment/testing process and adhere to the normal project cadence.
• Since the issue was found in production, it should be treated as a change request and go into the backlog as an enhancement.
• Correcting the bug in UAT is ideal. Since UAT is a full copy, it will be the fastest location to fix and test the resolution.
