A build job produces a file `app.jar`. A test job in a later stage needs this file to run. The test job is failing because it cannot find `app.jar`. What is the most likely cause?

The `app.jar` file is too large to be passed as an artifact.

The build job uses a different runner than the test job.

The build job does not have an `artifacts` section to save `app.jar`.

The test job is in the same stage as the build job.
