Explanation
When a QA team cannot determine what to test for a specific user story, the problem is almost always missing or insufficient acceptance criteria. Acceptance criteria define the precise conditions a solution must satisfy to be accepted, which directly drives test script creation. The who/what/why (A) refers to the user story format itself - revising it would not give QA testable conditions. The definition of done (C) is a team-level checklist applied universally to all stories (e.g., 'code reviewed', 'deployed to sandbox') and does not describe story-specific behavior that needs to be tested.
