Suggested Answer: C

Increasing test automation is a key practice in Agile methodologies to support continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). Automated tests can be run quickly and frequently, which is essential for continuous deployment to be effective. By automating the testing process, teams can ensure that new code changes are tested thoroughly and consistently, leading to more frequent and reliable deployments to production.

Reference= The ISTQB Advanced Level Agile Technical Tester documents emphasize the importance of test automation in Agile contexts, particularly in relation to continuous deployment and delivery1.It is highlighted that test automation approaches are fundamental for organizations adopting Agile development practices12345.

I feel like option C might be too absolute; not every project needs to prioritize automation for continuous deployment.

I think I read somewhere that while automation helps, it doesn't completely replace manual testing, which makes me hesitant about option B.
