I think understanding that fast doesn't mean incomplete is important, but it doesn't really capture the essence of keeping it simple, so D might not be the best choice.

I practiced a similar question where adopting easy-to-follow practices was emphasized, so I’m leaning towards C.

I feel like I've seen a question similar to this where the GREP tool was mentioned for capturing real-time events. It seems like that might be option B, but I can't quite recall the details.
