I practiced a question similar to this, and I recall that exploratory testing is more about adapting as you go, which makes A sound correct.

I think C makes sense because exploratory testing often doesn’t have strict time limits, but I could be mixing it up with other types of testing.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like exploratory testing can happen even when time is tight, so B seems off to me.

I remember that exploratory testing really relies on the tester's skills, so I think A might be the right answer.
