Explanation

In SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), the System Team owns end-to-end system testing (C) - they validate that integrated components work together as a whole system, running integration and regression tests across the full solution. This is distinct from team-level testing and is the System Team's defining responsibility.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Solution architecture) - this belongs to Solution Architects or the Enterprise Architect role, not the System Team.
• B (Creating automated test scenarios) - Agile Teams write their own automated tests; the System Team may support the infrastructure but doesn't author feature-level test scenarios.
• D (Production-equivalent staging environment) - while the System Team uses and supports the staging environment, building and maintaining it is typically an infrastructure/DevOps responsibility, not solely the System Team's charter.
• E (Deploying to staging) - deployment is generally a DevOps/release pipeline responsibility; the System Team facilitates integration but doesn't own deployments.

Memory tip: Think of the System Team as the "glue testers" - they test where the pieces join together, making system integration testing their signature role. If a choice sounds like it belongs to architects, developers, or DevOps, it's probably not the System Team.
