What is the primary purpose of a load generator?

Aload generatoris responsible forsimulating virtual usersand applyingworkloads to a systemas defined by an operational profile. This allows testers to analyze how the system behaves under different load conditions.

Option A (Background load)is incorrect becauseload generators create simulated user interactions, not just background noise.

Option C (Record and analyze behavior)is the role ofmonitoring tools, not a load generator.

Option D (Support root cause analysis)is incorrect becauseroot cause analysis is done after the load test, using monitoring tools.
