Exploratory testing during system test? That's a no-brainer, gotta be option C!

I practiced a similar question where we matched strategies to activities, and I think example 4 aligns well with the process-compliant strategy in Agile.

I'm a bit unsure about the reactive strategy; I feel like it could relate to exploratory testing, but I'm not completely confident.

I've got a good handle on the test strategies, but I'm not sure which one is the "process-compliant" one. I'll need to double-check my understanding of that one before selecting the answer.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The consultative strategy involves getting input from users, so that matches example 2. The reactive strategy is about exploring the system, so that's example 3. The analytical strategy is about prioritizing based on risk, so that's example 1. And the process-compliant strategy is about following the defined process, which seems to fit example 4.

I remember that the consultative strategy often involves user feedback, so I think example 2 might fit there.

I thought example 1 was about prioritizing based on risk, which might connect to the analytical strategy, but I'm not certain how that fits with the others.
