I vaguely remember something about involving the Product Owner in estimates, but I can't recall if it's crucial for this scenario. Option D might be a possibility.

I feel like I've seen a question like this before, and I don't recall points being predetermined, so option C seems wrong to me.

I'm a bit unsure, but I think points are assigned for the whole Story, not just parts of it, which might make option B true.

I remember that in Planning Poker, the team collectively estimates the Story points, so I think option A is definitely incorrect.

I'm not totally confident on this one. The wording about the Developers and Testers estimating different points is throwing me off. I'll have to review my Agile knowledge before answering.
