Selected Answer: D
I am tempting to choose C or D. I think D is the right choice, since blackbox testing is mostly used in the context of application security (the question asks about a cloud solution) and is conducted without prior knowledge of the applications functions & features. But maybe I am thinking too much. I also noted that blackbox testing is not mentioned in the CISM manual or in the AIO exam guide - so its also likely that C is right. Tough chouce.

WTH parallel testing? No. Its black box testing. Parallel is used to not disrupt the actual system Black box testing, a form of testing that is performed with no knowledge of a system's internals, can be carried out to evaluate the functionality, security, performance, and other aspects of an application --> D
