   A team is testing a new battle royale game. They have identified several risks: a server crash during peak load, a bug that causes players to fall through the map, and a UI issue where the health bar is hard to see. The team has limited time. Which risk should be prioritized for testing?

   • AThe map bug, because it is a game-breaking issue for individual players.
   • BAll risks equally, because they are all product risks.
   • CThe UI issue, because it affects the player's ability to play effectively.
   • DThe server crash, because it affects all players and could cause a loss of player trust.
