Explanation:
Okay, so you already graded the answers; but the "deployment" is REALLY superfluous...

If you google for the two expressions, there are 158 compared with 11,100 - and how else would you suggest an airbag could be tested, other than by "triggering" it (and that is hardly "deployment", after all)? In any case, "deployment" is a decidedly odd word to use in this context.

neutral  Inga Jakobi: I think there is a big difference between testing the triggering (auslösen auf Deutsch) and the process of deployment which is very important to evaluate possible injuries caused

  -> I'm inclined to see thia as the difference in understanding of the term by an ENS and a GNS.
