9) Which of the following test cases ensures that the mutated statement is infected but propagation does not 1 point
occur?

A test case with the value not in the array will ensure that infection occurs and propagation does not occur.
A test case in which the last occurrence of the value is not in array num[0] will ensure infection and not propagation.
A test case in which the element occurs exactly once in the array will ensure that infection occurs and propagation
does not occur.
A test case in which the last occurrence of the value is anywhere except in the first position will ensure that infection
occurs and propagation does not occur.

No, the answer is incorrect.

Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
A test case in which the last occurrence of the value is not in array num[0] will ensure infection and not propagation.
