Answers
D.
Personas should be used to derive use cases which can be broken down into user stories and then scripted into performance test scripts.
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

A is correct. Personas represent realistic users doing realistic transactions and so are well suited for use in performance testing. B is not correct because transactions are needed for performance testing rather than tasks. C is not correct because while personas are used for usability testing, they are also used for performance testing. D is not correct because user stories cover small bits of functionality, not transactions.
