   A team is deploying a new Apex class that calls an external REST API. The class has a test class that mocks the API call. The team wants to ensure the deployment does not fail due to test failures. What should they do before deploying to production?

   • ARun only the new test class in the sandbox, as existing tests are not affected by new code.
   • BRun the test class in the sandbox to verify it passes, and also run a subset of existing tests to check for regressions.
   • CSkip testing because the test class mocks the API call, so it will always pass.
   • DDeploy the change set to production and run the test class there if the deployment fails.
