Wait, are SUVs really only petrol and diesel? That seems odd!

The question doesn't specify what message will be displayed when a vehicle is out of stock, that's an important detail I'd want to confirm.

The dependencies between power units and body styles are not entirely clear to me, I'd need to get some more details on that.

The boundaries for stock levels are a bit ambiguous, I'd want to clarify that before designing test cases.

Ah, I see, so Hybrids are only available for Hatchbacks. That's an interesting limitation. I wonder if the customers will be happy about that.

I agree with Paris, the specification could be more clear about the expected behavior when a configuration is out of stock. What exactly will the message say?

The dependencies between power unit and body style are a bit confusing. It's not immediately clear if all possible combinations are allowed or if there are some restrictions.

I would also add that option D is crucial. Knowing what message will be displayed is essential for user experience.

I'm not sure about the boundaries for stock levels. Is there a minimum or maximum number of vehicles that should be in stock for each configuration?

The specification seems clear to me. The dependencies between power unit and body style are well defined, and the behavior when a configuration is out of stock is also specified.
