   A usability test of a data-entry application collected both quantitative metrics (task success, time-on-task) and qualitative observations (participant comments, moderator notes).

The team must decide how to report this discrepancy. What is the most appropriate action?

   • AAdjust the success rate to 50% to reflect the qualitative confusion.
   • BReport the quantitative success rate as the primary metric and mention the qualitative concerns as secondary.
   • CReport only the qualitative data because it is more insightful than the quantitative metrics.
