Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Walkthroughs are often led by the author of the document and are used to aid learning and understanding among team members. These informal review meetings help in discussing the content and obtaining feedback from participants, but they are less formal than inspections and do not necessarily involve defined roles for all participants or result in documented outcomes. Reference: ISTQB CTFL Syllabus V4.0, Section 3.2.1.
