In SAP S/4HANA Cloud’s Test Automation Tool (available via SAP Cloud ALM), the "Read" button is used during test script recording to capture screen elements for validation or variable assignment during automated test execution.

Option A (To capture a static label on the screen that should be checked during test execution): Correct. Static labels (e.g., field names or titles) are often captured to verify UI consistency or screen navigation during test runs. This ensures the test validates expected screen content.

Option B (To capture a value in a text field that should be stored as a variable): Correct. The "Read" function can extract dynamic values (e.g., an invoice number) from text fields, storing them as variables for use in subsequent steps, such as validations or inputs.
