C Correct answer
Explanation

Test coverage criteria measure the extent to which test exercises specific structural elements (statements, branches, paths, requirements). Options A, B, and D describe valid coverage measurements: items exercised by tests, percentage of user requirements covered, and completion criteria. Percentage of faults found (C) is NOT a test coverage criterion - it measures test effectiveness, not coverage. Coverage is about what's tested, not what's found.
