Definitely, option B won't hit all statements.

Wait, does 100% statement coverage really mean all paths?

Nah, option D covers all the branches too.

The initial value of Biggest is set to 10.

I’m confused about which test cases actually execute the "If" statement. I need to double-check how many times each option reads A.

I feel like we practiced a similar question, and I think option D could also work because it tests the condition where A is greater than Biggest.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think option C might cover all the statements since it includes a value greater than 10.

I remember we discussed statement coverage and how we need to execute every line of code at least once.

Easy peasy! The test cases that will satisfy the coverage requirement are the ones that hit the different branches of the conditional statement and the loop. I'd go with option C.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key is to cover all the different paths through the code, including the case where the input value is greater than the current biggest value.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the code. I'll need to spend some time understanding how the program works before I can decide on the test cases.

This looks like a pretty straightforward question. I'll need to carefully trace the logic of the code to determine which test cases will satisfy the 100% statement coverage requirement.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the details of vSphere Namespaces. Let me think this through carefully.

Haha, this code looks like it was written by a programmer who just discovered the 'While' loop. But I'd say option C is the way to go.

I'm going with C, 10, 5, 0. It's the most comprehensive test case that checks the program's behavior for different input values.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. Both seem to cover all the statements, but C might be a bit more thorough in testing the different scenarios.

D, 10, 11, 0 looks good to me. It covers all the different conditions, including the edge case where the input is greater than the current biggest value.
