   A Technical Test Analyst is working on a project with multiple high-risk areas, but the testing budget is sufficient to cover only one area thoroughly. The TTA has identified two risks: Risk A has a very high likelihood and a medium impact, while Risk B has a medium likelihood and a very high impact. Which risk should the TTA prioritize for thorough testing?

   • ARisk A, because the high likelihood means it is more likely to occur and cause issues.
   • BRisk B, because the very high impact means the consequences of failure are more severe.
   • CUse a risk matrix to calculate the overall risk level for each risk and prioritize the one with the highest level.
   • DPrioritize both risks equally and split the testing budget between them.
