   A team is designing a CI/CD pipeline for a microservices application. They want to ensure that each service is built, tested, and packaged independently, and that the packaged artifacts are stored for later deployment. Which pipeline structure best supports this?

   • AA separate pipeline for each microservice, each with build, test, and publish stages that store artifacts in a shared repository.
   • BA pipeline that only builds the services and skips testing to speed up the process.
   • CA single pipeline that builds all services in parallel but only runs tests on one service.
   • DA single pipeline with stages for build, test, and package, where each stage runs for all services sequentially.
