I'm pretty sure option D is the 'best' choice because it involves the word 'measure,' and everyone knows that the more you measure, the better your software will be. Right?

Option A seems like a good choice if you want to know how much it costs to keep your automated tests on life support. But who needs maintenance when you can just rewrite everything every release?

Option B is interesting, but it doesn't directly measure the quality of the TAS itself. Saving manual test effort is a great benefit, but it doesn't tell us much about the TAS's internal health.

I agree with Sharee. Defect density in the automation code is a great internal metric to track, as it can help identify and address issues early on.
