B,C Correct answer
Explanation

Security scanners like AppScan actively test applications by submitting payloads and manipulating inputs - this can corrupt databases or disrupt functionality. Running in production risks data loss and affects real users. The preproduction/staging environment mirrors production without these consequences. The 'inform application owner' and 'reduce network traffic' options are incorrect - testing always requires notification, and scanning actually increases traffic.
