   A tester on an agile team is responsible for quality risk assessment. They have identified a high-risk area in the application. However, the product owner wants to add more features to the sprint, which would reduce the time available for testing. What should the tester do?

   • ARefuse to test any new features until the high-risk area is fully tested.
   • BAccept the additional features and test as much as possible in the remaining time.
   • CCommunicate the risk to the product owner and suggest adjusting the sprint scope or testing effort.
   • DQuietly reduce testing on lower-risk areas to make time for the new features.
