   A development team wants to enforce that code coverage does not drop below 80% before a build is considered releasable. They use a CI server that supports pipeline stages. Which implementation best meets this requirement?

   • AConfigure the deployment stage to run a coverage check and abort if coverage is below 80%.
   • BRun a coverage tool locally on each developer's machine and require them to report the result in the commit message.
   • CAdd a gate in the pipeline after the test stage that parses the coverage report and fails the build if coverage is below 80%.
   • DSend the coverage report to the team's chat channel after every build for manual review.

   A team is using a CI/CD pipeline that runs on a self-hosted runner. They notice that the pipeline sometimes fails because the runner runs out of disk space during the build. They want to prevent this issue. Which approach is most effective?

   • AAdd a cleanup step at the beginning of the pipeline that removes temporary files and old artifacts from the runner.
   • BUse a different runner for each build to avoid accumulation.
   • CReduce the number of builds by merging more code before pushing.
   • DIncrease the disk space of the runner by adding a larger hard drive.
