   An organization is deciding whether to automate tests for a legacy mainframe application. The current team has no experience with the available automation tools, and the organization has a strict policy that all automation must be done in-house. The application is stable and will be maintained for another 10 years. What is the most significant barrier to this automation investment?

   • AThe application's stability makes it a poor candidate for automation because there is little need for repeated regression testing.
   • BThe 10-year maintenance window is too short to recover the initial automation investment.
   • CThe lack of in-house automation skills will require significant training investment, which may delay the project and increase costs, potentially making the automation not financially viable.
   • DThe mainframe environment is not compatible with modern automation tools, making automation technically impossible.
