Answers
D.

Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

According to the syllabus, the absence-of-errors fallacy is a common misconception that finding and fixing defects will ensure the success of a system. This fallacy ignores the fact that there may be other factors that affect user satisfaction and system value, such as usability, functionality, performance, reliability, security, etc. The answer D is correct because it is an example of the absence-of-errors fallacy. Since testing found very few defects, the system certainly will be successful. This statement assumes that defect detection is the only criterion for system success, which is not true. The other answers are incorrect because they are not examples of the absence-of-errors fallacy, but rather facts or challenges related to testing.
