   A team is preparing for a release and wants to communicate product quality to stakeholders. They have data on defect density, escaped defects, and requirement coverage. Which combination of metrics provides the most meaningful quality picture?

   • AEscaped defects only, because they directly show what users will experience.
   • BDefect density and escaped defects only, because requirement coverage is not a quality metric.
   • CRequirement coverage only, because if all requirements are tested, the product is high quality.
   • DDefect density, escaped defects, and requirement coverage together, to show both internal quality and risk of untested areas.
