   A project team is building a new payment processing module. During the requirements review, a business analyst questions whether the software should support a new type of digital wallet that was not in the original scope.

Which statement best describes the testing activity performed?

   • AThis is neither verification nor validation, because the feature was not in the original scope.
   • BThis is validation, because the tester confirmed the feature works as designed.
   • CThis is both verification and validation, because the feature was tested and found to work.
