Ha, option A sounds like the old 'boil the ocean' approach to testing. Good luck covering every single risk - I'll stick with the targeted approach of option B, thanks!

Definitely not option D - I don't think 'crowdsourcing' testing is what they're looking for here. That might work for some types of testing, but not for coverage-based approaches.

I'm not sure about option C - doesn't that kind of ad-hoc testing approach run the risk of missing important cases? Coverage-based testing should be more structured, in my opinion.

I believe it's more about deriving test situations based on analysis of the test basis and selected coverage types.

Option B sounds like the most comprehensive and systematic approach to coverage-based testing. Covering all relevant test cases and scenarios seems essential for thorough testing.
