BBecause assumptions speed up testing and reduce effort.
CBecause assumptions can hide defects and limit test coverage.
DBecause assumptions replace the need for test cases.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand the role of assumptions in testing

    Assumptions may cause testers to skip important checks.
