I feel like we practiced a similar question where we had to choose between storing results and sending emails. I think having a dashboard is more useful for continuous access, like option A.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think sending reports via email might not be the best for 24/7 access. Maybe option A or C would be better?

I remember we discussed the importance of keeping historical data for builds, so option A seems like a good choice since it maintains all previous results.
