Explanation

A test strategy is a high-level document that defines the overall approach, scope, and direction for testing. Risks and contingencies must be included because they drive which areas to prioritize, how to allocate testing resources, and what fallback plans exist if testing uncovers critical issues. Test scenario benchmarks (B) and regression results (D) are outputs of test execution, not strategy inputs. Programming walk-throughs (C) are a code-review technique, not a testing strategy element. Without a risk-based foundation, a test strategy lacks the context to be actionable or effective.
