Correct answer: B. (A), (B) and (C) only

Explanation

Behavioral testing is another name for black-box testing, where test cases are derived only from the specified behaviour of the software without any knowledge of its internal code. The recognised black-box methods are graph-based testing, equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis and orthogonal array testing, so (A) Equivalence Partitioning, (B) Graph-Based Testing and (C) Boundary Value Analysis all qualify. (D) Data flow testing traces definition-use chains in the source code and (E) Loop testing exercises simple, nested and concatenated loops in the code, so both are white-box (glass-box, structural) techniques and cannot be behavioral. Hence only (A), (B) and (C) are behavioral, which is option (ii).
