C) The same regressions tests are manually executed by the same testers, for every product release, without regression test tools. It's important to have efficient testing processes to keep testers engaged.

B) The testers' recommendations to improve the system or its testability are adopted by the development team. I believe this would be motivating as it shows the value of testers' input.

E) Test quality is measured by counting the number of customer/user reported problems. I think this can be demotivating because it doesn't focus on the testers' efforts.

I can see your point, Kattie. Testers should not be solely assessed on the failures they detect, it can lead to demotivation.

I believe option D could also be demotivating. Testers might feel pressured to detect important failures just to meet assessment criteria.

I agree with you, Lashawnda. Testers would feel demotivated if they are not allowed to use regression test tools.

I think option C would be demotivating for testers. Doing the same manual regression tests for every release sounds boring.
