The only reasonable answer is D) Users cannot test software effectively.
Users typically test a system during the Beta release of a product. Though companies should not rely only on this type of testing, it is useful in uncovering defects at little cost to the company. Throughout this period, users perform their day-to-day activities and are not thinking about product quality. They rarely if ever scan the user manual looking for situations of interest to test, so the answer is not A). They generally don't dream up situations randomly to visit all of the features of the system, so the answer is also not B). They don't have access to the company's business processes, so the answer is not C).
