Which is correct?
When using a dynamic link library (DLL), updates are ______ to apply to each module without affecting other parts of the program.
A. easier
B. more easily

Explanation:
Easier is an adjective and more easily is an adverbial phrase. Easier describes “updates”, not how they are applied.
