But what if the regression test suite is not run consistently for future releases? That could also lead to the defect re-occurring, right?

Option C seems the most logical choice. If the regression suite isn't consistently run, that's a clear path for the defect to resurface. Gotta keep those tests churning, you know?

I agree with you, Nickole. If the testing is not thorough, the defect might slip through again.

I think the defect could re-occur if the automated defect confirmation testing is not effective.
