   A test team is planning the technical testing for a new autonomous vehicle control system. The stakeholders have conflicting requirements: the system must respond to obstacles in milliseconds (performance), but it must also be highly reliable to avoid accidents. The test team must decide how to balance these requirements in the test plan. Which approach is most appropriate?

   • ADesign tests that verify both the response time and the correctness of the response under various conditions
   • BTest the system in a simulated environment that does not include real-world obstacles
   • CPrioritize performance testing over reliability testing to meet the response time requirement
   • DFocus on reliability testing and assume that a reliable system will also be fast enough
