D is a good one too, but let's be real, the timeline and resources are usually an afterthought. Prioritize the scope and objectives first!

Haha, I bet the developers would love it if we just went in and found every single vulnerability. But C is a bit too ambitious, don't you think?

I agree with Portia. Scoping and requirements are the foundation. Without them, the entire test could be a waste of time and resources.

Option B is definitely the way to go. Defining the scope and objectives is crucial for a successful pen test. Otherwise, it's like shooting in the dark!
