I'm going with option D. It's the most straightforward and doesn't have any unnecessary steps. Gotta love the efficiency!

Haha, option A sounds like a developer's nightmare! 'Working, Clarification, Working, Verification, Working' - talk about a rollercoaster ride!

Option A is definitely a mess, too much back and forth between Working and Clarification.

I think option B is the way to go. The sequence makes sense, and it doesn't have any unnecessary back-and-forth between states.

This is a tricky one. The sequence in option C seems to be the most logical, but I'm not sure if it's the only valid one.

I disagree, I believe the correct answer is D. The defect can go from New to Working to Verification and then directly to Closed without needing to go through Clarification.
