   • BIncrease the error budget to 0.2% to accommodate the launch
   • CCancel the launch because the error budget is almost exhausted

   How do error budgets help balance reliability and feature velocity?

   • AThey set a fixed number of features that can be released per quarter, regardless of reliability
   • BThey allow teams to release features as long as the error budget is not exhausted, and they must focus on reliability when it is
   • CThey eliminate the need for testing by allowing errors to occur within the budget
   • DThey require that all features be released only when the error budget is fully consumed
