I believe option D could also be demotivating, as testers might feel pressured to find critical failures.

I agree with Dorinda, doing the same manual regression tests repeatedly can be frustrating.

Ha! These options are a real comedy of errors. Option B is the only one that actually sounds like it might motivate the team. The rest are just demotivational disasters.

Option D is pretty rough too. Assessing testers solely on finding bugs? That's going to lead to a lot of finger-pointing and not a lot of actual improvement.

I'd have to go with option E. Counting problems rather than focusing on quality? That's a recipe for testers to start hiding issues instead of fixing them.

Option C is definitely the most demotivating. Manually running the same regressions over and over? That's a one-way ticket to burnout town.
