Haha, I love these trick questions! I'm going to go with A, but I'm also tempted to pick E just for the comedic value of developers doing regression testing.

I'm going with D. That just makes the most sense to me - re-testing uses different environments, while regression testing uses the same one.

This is a tricky one! I was debating between A and B, but I think A makes the most sense. Re-testing is just repeating the same tests, while regression testing is about finding new issues.

I think A is correct. Re-testing is running the same test again, while regression testing is looking for unexpected side effects.
