Hmm, this question seems straightforward. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about which one is false.

C is the way to go. Automating the setup steps is key to making regression testing efficient. Whoever thought otherwise needs to go back to Automation 101.

I'm going with B. You gotta make sure the manual tests work first before automating them, right? Seems like common sense to me.
