I disagree, B feels more accurate to me.

I practiced a question about defect states last week, and I think "In Progress" is usually a starting point, so maybe option C could work.

I’m a bit confused about the difference between "Tested" and "Verified." I think I might lean towards option A, but I’m not entirely certain.

I remember a similar question where we had to label stages in a process. I feel like "Accepted" and "Reviewed" are common terms used.

I think the states should reflect the typical flow of defect management, but I'm not sure which option fits best.
