I recall a practice question that mentioned metrics being important for stakeholders, so I think option D could be a good choice as well.

I think option A makes sense because having an independent test function can really help catch defects that developers might miss during their own reviews.

I just can't recall if it's three distinct types or if one of them overlaps. My gut says it's MySQL, Postgres, and maybe Oracle.

Okay, this is a tricky one. I can see the merits of both the lightweight and formal review approaches, but I'm not sure which one would be considered the "best" way to achieve the objectives. I might need to do some additional research on the pros and cons of each approach before deciding.
