Haha, I love the idea of the test team 'autonomously' performing exploratory testing. Like they're a bunch of rebel testers, just doing their own thing. But in all seriousness, C is the clear winner here.

Definitely C. Executing scripted tests upfront to address the risks, and then sprinkling in some exploratory sessions to keep things interesting. This guy's got it all figured out!

Hmm, I'm torn between C and D. Both seem to incorporate the key elements, but C feels a bit more well-rounded. I guess I'd have to go with C as the best fit.
