A Correct answer
Explanation

Load testing measures system performance under expected user loads. Testing response times at 500, 750, and 1000 users is classic load testing - checking how the system performs at various load levels within expected capacity. Stress testing goes beyond expected load to find breaking points. Performance testing is the broader umbrella category that includes both load and stress testing.
