BIn <code>conftest.py</code> at the root test folder to share it across all tests

CInside each test file that needs it to avoid conflicts

DDirectly inside pytest.ini configuration file

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand fixture sharing scope
Placing a fixture in conftest.py at the root test folder makes it available to all tests in subfolders automatically.
Step 2: Evaluate options for sharing
In conftest.py at the root test folder to share it across all tests correctly places the fixture in conftest.py for project-wide sharing. Others limit scope or are invalid.
Final Answer:
In conftest.py at the root test folder to share it across all tests -> Option B
Quick Check:
Root conftest.py = share fixtures project-wide [OK]
