Exam CT-TAE topic 1 question 71 discussion

Actual exam question from ISTQB's CT-TAE

Question #: 71
Topic #: 1

You have been asked to determine a TAS for a new release of a SUT. The SUT provides a given set of APIs and the tests to be automated cover the whole set of these APIs. Assume also that such tests are automatable using exclusively such APIs. A risk analysis for three different subsets of the SUT APIs has produced the following results (both likelihood and impact have been rated on the following scale: 1 - Very low, 2 - Low, 3 - Medium, 4 - High, 5 -Very High):

The time available is severely restricted and could not be possible to implement all the automated tests to cover the whole set of APIs.

Based only on the given information, which of the following statements would you expect most likely to be true in this scenario?

A. You should plan for the development of additional custom APIs implemented specifically for testing
B. You should plan to automate first the test cases associated with the subset of the SUT APIs named “Inquiry”
C. You should expect a low likelihood of false positives due to the level of intrusion when running the automated tests
D. You should determine a different automation solution for each of the three different subsets of SUT APIs
