Which statements about a continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline are TRUE?

The CTAL-TAE syllabus explicitly supports both statements a and d. Configuration tests for the TAF/TAS may be executed during the build and can be treated similarly to component tests. They can verify items such as whether required files exist and whether configured paths used by automated tests are valid. Therefore, statement a is true and statement b is false. The syllabus also states that component integration tests can be included in a continuous integration pipeline and, where appropriate, executed together with component tests, so statement c is not generally correct. System integration tests can also form part of continuous delivery pipelines and may operate as quality gates verifying that independently developed system components work together. Consequently, statement d is true and statement e is false. The correct combination is therefore a and d.
