How to approach select two (multi-select) questions

Multi-select questions tell you to 'Choose TWO' or 'Choose THREE'. Getting partial credit is not a thing — you must select all correct answers with no incorrect ones. The stem always states how many to choose, so trust it. These questions require precision, not best-guess elimination.

Which TWO options are valid methods for including collections in an execution environment?

A
Use ansible-galaxy collection install command in a pre-build script.
Why wrong: Pre-build scripts are not the recommended way; ansible-builder uses the execution-environment.yml definition.
B
List collections under 'collections' in execution-environment.yml.
This is the primary method; you can specify collections directly in execution-environment.yml.
C
Use a 'galaxy.yml' file in the build context.
Why wrong: galaxy.yml defines a collection's metadata, not how to include it in an EE.
D
Add a requirements.yml file with collections.
You can reference a requirements.yml file via the 'galaxy' source in execution-environment.yml.
E
Include collections in the base image directly.
Why wrong: While possible, this is not a standard method and is not recommended for maintainability.
