   A tester is assigned to evaluate a new racing game's drift mechanic. The design document states that drifting should provide a moderate speed boost but require precise timing to execute. During a scripted test, the tester notices that the drift boost is nearly impossible to trigger with a controller, but works reliably with a keyboard. The tester needs to determine whether this is a defect or an intentional design choice. Which approach best addresses this question?

   • AAsk a developer to change the controller input to match the keyboard behavior without further testing.
   • BReport the controller issue immediately as a high-severity defect, since the game is marketed primarily for consoles.
   • CIgnore the controller issue and focus only on the keyboard behavior, since the mechanic works as intended on at least one input method.
   • DCompare the controller behavior against the design document and perform exploratory testing with different controller sensitivities and button mappings.
