A defect severity is BEST described as
AImpact of the defect on the system function
BOrder in which defects were first found
CNumber of testers who have seen the defect
DSize of the team that fixed the defect

Correct answer: A. Impact of the defect on the system function
Severity = technical impact (critical, major, minor, trivial) on system function. Priority = business urgency for fixing. A defect can be high-severity (data loss) but low-priority if rarely encountered.
