Explanation
Best-practice acceptance criteria must be specific, measurable, and testable - they should define clear pass/fail conditions and should not be open to interpretation. Items listed like 'Reports' and 'Add permission set' are vague or implementation tasks rather than verifiable outcomes. When acceptance criteria are ambiguous or framed as technical to-dos rather than testable behaviors, they become negotiable, which is the anti-pattern here. Option A is incorrect because the user story does clearly identify 'the customer service agent' as the who. Option B is incorrect because the 'why' (assigning high-risk cases for faster resolution) is user-focused and valid.
