   You are developing an Azure Pipelines YAML pipeline that has a job that runs a series of integration tests. You want to run the tests in parallel across multiple agents to speed up execution. You also want to reuse the test steps in another pipeline that runs the tests sequentially. What should you do?

   • AUse a 'parallel' keyword in the job to run multiple copies of the job.
   • BUse a task group for the test steps and add it to both pipelines.
   • CUse a 'strategy' with a 'matrix' in the job to run the tests in parallel, and extract the test steps into a YAML template that accepts a parameter to control parallelism.
   • DUse a single job with multiple steps and rely on the agent's parallel execution.
