Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The best tester is measured by bugs FIXED, not found. A tester who finds 100 bugs that get ignored is less valuable than one who finds 10 critical bugs that all get fixed. The goal is improving software quality, which only happens when bugs are actually resolved. Option D (a & c) would be correct if both A and C were right, but finding the most bugs alone doesn't make someone the best.
