In program testing, all lines become flat, as shown in the graph below. Which of the following is the testing status that can be surmised from this graph? Editorial accessible description of the original graph: The horizontal axis is Time. The left vertical axis is Number of test items; the right vertical axis is Number of bugs. The curve labelled Number of detected bugs rises and becomes flat. Number of unfinished test items decreases and becomes flat above zero. Number of unresolved bugs rises, falls, rises slightly, and becomes flat above zero. No numerical scale is printed.

In program testing, all lines become flat, as shown in the graph below. Which of the following 
is the testing status that can be surmised from this graph?

Editorial accessible description of the original graph: The horizontal axis is Time. The left vertical axis is Number of test items; the right vertical axis is Number of bugs. The curve labelled Number of detected bugs rises and becomes flat. Number of unfinished test items decreases and becomes flat above zero. Number of unresolved bugs rises, falls, rises slightly, and becomes flat above zero. No numerical scale is printed.
a) The project faces bugs that are difficult to resolve, and subsequent testing is not 
progressing.
b) The number of finished test items is increasing, and bugs no longer occur.
c) There are many bugs, and the number of finished test items is no longer increasing.
d) The rate of occurrence of bugs matches the rate of the finished test items, and there are 
no more unresolved bugs.
