Option B seems interesting, but I'm not sure if improving the application's architecture is the best recommendation here. The question is focused on the test automation suite, not the application itself.

I'm leaning towards option C. Adopting a set of standard verification methods for all the automated tests seems like it would help improve the maintainability and consistency of the test suite.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. The question mentions that all the test cases already have the same sequences of steps at the beginning and end. Wouldn't that mean option D is already being done?

This seems like a straightforward question. I think the best approach would be to implement standard setup and teardown functions at the test case level.
