C. Having a defined goal as well as success and failure criteria
In a penetration test, having a defined goal and clear success and failure criteria is the most important issue. Without a well-defined objective and criteria for success, the penetration test may lack focus and effectiveness. It's essential to understand what you are trying to achieve through the test and how you will measure whether it was successful or not.
D. Obtaining permission from audit (presumably referring to obtaining proper authorization) is crucial from a legal and ethical standpoint, but it is not the most important issue related to the effectiveness of the penetration test itself.
I'd add to that i'm pretty sure it's a typo and it's supposed to say "obtaining permission to audit".
Be careful if you get this on the day. If it says "obtaining permission to audit" then that is established rules of engagement and that is correct.
If it reads as listed here then for me it doesn't make sense and C is the answer
As a pentester, I can tell you that the absolute most important thing is that you get permission and defined scope of what (and how and sometimes even when) you are allowed to test. Without that you can't start.
Ideally yes, but not a permission "from audit". I'd say it's C
