I don't agree. It says insuficient (meaning not enough) not "nobody". Also I am not sure whether a PO has the authority to add members to a team or make that decision. In my experience he/she doesn't but I might be wrong. In any case, I believe A is the correct answer.

I agree. It also mentions "effectively" meaning they're completing the stories, just ineffectively. Hence, there is someone capable of performing this task.

Option A. Agile teams are encouraged to be self-organizing and collaborative, and team members are expected to be multi-skilled and cross-functional. By cross-training some members in automation, the team can improve their overall capacity to complete testing tasks efficiently and effectively. This approach also supports knowledge sharing and team building within the group. If cross-training is not feasible or sufficient, the team can explore other options such as recruiting or requesting additional team members with the required skill set.

But it says "during its first sprint" meaning that there is no time for training as the question ends with "to complete its stories". Therefore B suits better, to complete the stories DURING the sprint.

Encourage team members to become generalizing specialists in order to reduce team size and bottlenecks, and to create a high performing cross-functional team. https://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/public/pdf/certifications/agile-certified-exam-outline.pdf?v=f48bd86f-bf3f-4b9c-830b-b91ce3b1cfd7&sc_lang_temp=en

A. Cross-train some members in the automation framework to broaden their capacity with that skill-- nobody has knowledge so we cannot cross train B. Ask the product owner to add team members to boost this particular skill set C. Send a member to automation framework training when funds are available - dont know when the fund will be available D. Avoid using test automation by swarming on the testing tasks and using manual testing - test automation part of agile B is a right answer
