   A performance test team is testing a new online payment system. The test plan specifies a load of 1000 concurrent users. During the test, the team observes that the database server's CPU is at 90% and the application server's CPU is at 40%. The response times are within the target. What is the MOST appropriate conclusion?

   • AThe system is performing well, and no further action is needed.
   • BThe database server is likely the bottleneck, and the team should investigate if it can handle higher loads or if optimization is needed.
   • CThe application server is underutilized, and the team should reduce its capacity.
   • DThe test is invalid because the load is not high enough to saturate the application server.
