C Correct answer
Explanation

Automation is primarily adopted to reduce testing time (automated tests run much faster than manual testing) and reduce cost (less manual effort required over time, especially for regression testing). Option C 'All of the above' correctly captures both these primary benefits. Option A and B individually are both valid reasons to automate. Option D is not a reason to automate - having a budget is an enabler, not a motivation. Option C is correct.
