D) 4 sounds excessive. 2 is enough for accuracy.

I didn't know that! Seems like a lot for just one test.

I’m really uncertain about this one. I thought it was either 2 or 3, but I can’t remember the specifics from my notes.

I’m leaning towards option D, 4 specimens, because I recall something about needing more for accuracy in testing.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like the answer might be 3, but I could be mixing it up with another test requirement.

I think I remember that for cold crushing strength, we usually need at least 2 specimens, but I'm not entirely sure.
