B Correct answer
Explanation

Option B is correct because client-side data caching can dramatically improve performance for end users but will negatively skew test results by reducing server load during testing - the test won't accurately reflect actual server performance under load. Options A (load balancers), C (parameterization), and D (rendezvous points) are performance testing best practices that improve test accuracy, not skew results. Caching should be disabled or consistent during testing to get valid results.
