A product owner is comparing validation approaches. Which statement correctly describes the trade-off between customer interviews and a working Increment released to a subset of users?

• AInterviews give stronger evidence because users explain their reasoning, while released software only shows what happened.
• BBoth give equivalent evidence, so the cheaper one should always be chosen.
• CInterviews are cheap and quick and are good for finding problems and understanding context, but weak evidence about future behaviour. A released Increment costs the most and gives the strongest evidence because the behaviour observed is real behaviour with real consequences.
• DReleased software is unreliable evidence because a subset of users is not representative.
