I practiced a similar question, and I recall that automation can help with efficiency, so A and B seem solid advantages.

I'm not sure, but I feel like all the options sound like advantages. Maybe D is the one that could be argued against?

I think option C might be the one that's not an advantage. I remember discussing how automation doesn't necessarily find more defects than manual testing.
