B seems right. With constant minor changes, the communication between team members is bound to degrade. Gotta keep that program flow smooth!

Haha, the program manager is in for a wild ride if the tolerance is too tight. Might as well just throw a dice to decide the changes!

I'd go with A. Reduction in quality is the obvious outcome when you're too strict on the tolerance range. It'll just create more problems.

Definitely D. A narrow tolerance range means even minor changes can significantly impact the program implementation. Slow down is inevitable.
