D feels wrong too; I thought we learned that risk management should be proactive, not just during testing phases.

I'm not so sure about A, though. It seems like only focusing on non-functional characteristics during testing would miss a lot of potential issues.

Okay, I've got this. Mature organizations know that managing product quality risks is an ongoing process, not just something you do at the end during testing. Option B captures that well, so that's my pick.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by this question. It seems to be asking about the role of testing in managing product quality risks, but the options are a bit tricky. I'll need to think this through carefully.

I'll go with B. It's the only one that really captures the essence of how mature organizations approach product quality risk management. The other options just sound like excuses for lazy risk management.

Haha, option D is a joke, right? Risk management only during testing? What are they, amateurs? Mature organizations know it's a continuous effort, not just a one-time thing.
