Explanation

@WebMvcTest auto-configures MockMvc (A) so you can test controllers by simulating HTTP requests without starting a real server - making C wrong, since it explicitly tests without a running server. Because @WebMvcTest only loads the web layer (controllers, filters, etc.) and not the full application context, any service or repository dependencies won't be present, so you must declare them with @MockBean (D) to satisfy the controller's dependencies. B is wrong because @WebMvcTest scans more than just @Controller - it also picks up @ControllerAdvice, @JsonComponent, Filter, WebMvcConfigurer, and similar web-layer beans. E is wrong because @WebMvcTest already includes @ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class) as a meta-annotation; using MockitoExtension instead would bypass the Spring test context entirely.

Memory tip: Think of @WebMvcTest as a "web slice only" test - it gives you MockMvc automatically (A) and forces you to MockBean everything else (D). Both A and D have "Mock" in them.
