I’m torn between B and D. While I see the value in escalating risks, I wonder if we’d be better off preparing something flexible like in option B.

I practiced a question about risk management last week, and I think option A could leave us vulnerable. We can't just rely on regression tests without proper test cases.

I think we've encountered similar scenarios before where incomplete requirements led to delays. I feel like option D might just escalate tensions without providing a solution.

I remember discussing the importance of being proactive in test design, so option B seems like a reasonable approach, but I'm not entirely sure if making assumptions is always safe.
