Already done and posted previously. But it was not posted in simplified x=y equation style that non-critical thinkers need. Facts were provided in a manner that requires critical thinking. One need only 'connect the dots' to see why options A - E are rejected repeatedly.

For example, option A said, "If the micron 401's processor worked faster during the crash, the computer's hard drive would have been damaged."

How many points make that option bogus?
a) "Computers work at the same speed when doing productive work or when doing nothing. A computer works as fast as its master clock." Need I add the obvious? The processor never works faster. It always works at the same speed.

b) "A crashing processor does not cause hard drive damage. No command instructs a disk drive's computer to do a "Cause hardware damage." " Again, need I connect the dots? The disk drive receieves commands that its computer performs. For a computer to damage a drive means a command must exist that says "Destroy the drive". No such command exists.

Two statements, previously posted, show A as obviously bogus. Those same facts also define options B C and E as fictional - impossible.

Option D can be true or false as already explained in, "D is both true and false. Because all answers are possible when information is subjective."

Propaganda and junk science require that numbers not be provided so that perspective can be distorted. Critical thinking always means facts and numbers. Without that perspective, then even land sharks can deliver pizza.
