Consider the pseudo code provided below regarding a customer request for cash withdrawal from an ATM.
If the customer has sufficient funds in their account
OR the customer has the credit granted
THEN the ATM machine pays out the requested amount to the customer
Which of the following test cases would be the result of applying multiple condition testing, but would NOT be the result of applying modified condition/decision testing?

• A. TC 1: Customer has sufficient funds. Credit has not been granted.
• B. TC 4: Customer has sufficient funds. Credit has been granted.
• C. TC 2: Customer does not have sufficient funds. Credit has been granted.
• D. TC 3: Customer does not have sufficient funds. Credit has not been granted.

A review of the following pseudo code is to be performed using a checklist:
Module Vowel Counter
Message: array of Characters
M, N: Integer
ACount, ECount, ICount, OCount, UCount: Integer
BEGIN
I=1
Read Nextchar
While Nextchar <> 'S'
DO
Message (I) = Nextchar
I = I+1
Read Nextchar
ENDWHILE
FOR M = 1 To I
DO
Print (Message(M))
IF Message (M) = 'E'
THEN
ECount = ECount + 1
ELSE
IF Message (M) = 'A'
THEN
ACount = ACount + 1
ELSE
IF Message (M) = 'I'
THEN
ICount = ICount + 1
ELSE
IF Message (M) = 'O'
THEN
OCount = OCount + 1
ELSE
IF Message (M) = 'U'
THEN
UCount = UCount + 1
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDIF
ENDFOR
Print ('Message contains ' ACount + ECount + ICount + OCount + UCount ' vowels') END Which of the following checklist items would find code errors in this scenario?
A) Are all variables properly declared?
B) Are all loops, branches, and logic constructs complete, correct, and properly nested?
C) Are all cases covered in an IF-ELSEIF, including ELSE or DEFAULT clauses?
D) Are loop termination conditions obvious and invariably achievable?
E) Are there any redundant or unused variables?

• A. b and c
• B. c and d
• C. a and d
• D. a and e
