The amount of testing that is considered enough depends on various factors, including the level of risk associated with the application, industry standards, contractual obligations, and specific requirements. It is a risk-based decision that balances the need for thorough testing with time and resource constraints. Reference: ISTQB CTFL Syllabus V4.0, Section 5.2.2.

I recall a debate about developer maturity affecting testing outcomes, so option D could also be a valid perspective, but I still lean towards C.

Easy peasy! The answer is clearly C. The amount of testing depends on the unique situation - can't just give a one-size-fits-all response. Gotta consider all the variables.
