Option D is the way to go. Imagine the line of angry customers who can't pay for their groceries - that's a recipe for disaster!

Hmm, I'd say C is the right answer. An excessively high number of failed defect fixes is a classic product risk that needs to be addressed.

I see your point, Jillian. It's important to prioritize risks that directly affect the system's core functionality.

That's true, but I think failure to accept allowed credit cards is a more immediate concern for a point-of-sales system.

I'm going with B. Delivering an incomplete test release to the first system test is a major risk that could derail the whole project.
