I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the assets in a testamentary trust might still go through probate, which makes C questionable.

I think the key here is to focus on the specific responsibilities of the QA group. Option A seems to capture their role in ensuring program changes meet standards, so that's the one I'm going to select.
