Analyze mobile device deployment models to select the best explanation of the Corporate Owned, Personally-Enabled (COPE) deployment model.

The employee may use the mobile device to access personal email and social media accounts. The device is chosen and supplied by the company.

A user would like to install an application on a mobile device that is not authorized by the vendor. The user decides the best way to accomplish the install is to perform rooting on the device.
