Selected Answer: B
While system owners not being informed in advance (option C) is also a concern, it typically does not pose as great a risk as compromising data integrity. System owners not being informed may lead to operational issues or conflicts during the testing process, but it's unlikely to have the same level of impact as data integrity breaches in a business-critical application production environment.

I think C is correct as system owners approval is necessary before penetration tests.
