BDirectories named 'test' or 'tests' in the current folder
COnly the root directory of the project
DDirectories named 'src' or 'lib'
Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Step 1: Understand pytest default directory search

    pytest looks for directories named 'test' or 'tests' to find test files.

  2. Step 2: Eliminate other directory options
