Explanation
When a development team is unclear about what type of testing a story requires, it signals that the story lacks sufficient clarity about what 'done' looks like for that specific scenario. The Definition of Done (A) is a team-wide standard, not story-specific guidance. User personas (B) describe who the user is, not what needs to be verified. Acceptance criteria (C) define the specific, testable conditions that must be met for a story to be accepted. For an email alert story, well-written acceptance criteria would specify triggering conditions, recipients, expected content, and edge cases - directly telling the team what scenarios must be tested and validated.
