   During system testing, a tester finds that a user can submit a form twice by double-clicking the submit button, causing duplicate orders.

What should the tester do?

   • AKeep the priority as 'Medium' because the tester is the one who found the defect
   • BEscalate the disagreement to the QA manager without changing the priority
   • CUpdate the priority to 'High' and add a comment explaining the impact on the business process
   • DClose the defect as 'Not a defect' because it is a user error
