   A test manager is closing a test phase for a safety-critical system. The exit criteria require 100% of planned tests executed, zero open defects of any severity, and a formal sign-off from the safety officer. All tests are executed, but there is one open low-severity defect that has a workaround. The safety officer is on vacation and cannot sign off for two weeks. What should the test manager do?

   • AClose the phase and note that the safety officer's sign-off is pending, but proceed with the next phase.
   • BWait for the safety officer's sign-off before closing the phase, and document the open defect in the completion report.
   • CAsk the safety officer's deputy to sign off, even if they are not authorized.
   • DClose the phase without the safety officer's sign-off, since all tests are executed and the defect is low severity.
