Explanation

Maintaining a separate test environment is logistically challenging because it requires duplicating infrastructure, licensing, hardware, and configurations - essentially running a second parallel environment that mirrors production. This involves significant cost, resource allocation, and ongoing synchronization with the production environment. Option A is incorrect because test environments reduce reliance on third-party testing. Option B is incorrect - separate test environments actually complicate rollback plans. Option D is incorrect because a test environment is considered a best practice and an important part of change management.
