   A project team is developing a new online banking system. The requirements are well-documented and the team has been following a strict V-model process. During system testing, a tester finds that the 'transfer funds' feature works correctly but the user interface does not match the approved wireframes. The wireframes were not included in the formal requirements document. Which statement is most accurate?

   • AThis is a verification defect because the software does not conform to the approved design (wireframes).
   • BThis is both a verification and validation defect because the UI is wrong.
   • CThis is not a defect because the wireframes are not part of the formal requirements.
   • DThis is a validation defect because the UI does not meet the user's expectations as shown in the wireframes.
