Mannis Corporation’s archival records are stored in an obsolete format that is accessible only by its current computer system; thus they are inaccessible when that system is not functioning properly. In order to avoid the possibility of losing access to their archival records in the case of computer malfunction, Mannis plans to replace its current computer system with a new system that stores records in a format that is accessible to several different systems.
The answer to which of the following questions would be most helpful in evaluating the effectiveness of the plan as a means of retaining access to the archival records?
(A) Will the new computer system require fewer operators than the current system requires?
(B) Has Mannis Corporation always stored its archival records in a computerized format?
(C) Will the new computer system that Mannis plans ensure greater security for the records stored than does Mannis’ current system?
(D) Will Mannis’ current collection of archival records be readily transferable to the new computer system?
(E) Will the new computer system be able to perform many more tasks than the current system is able to perform?

IMO D.

Main point is Mannis plans to replace the current computer system with new system that stores records in accessible format.

A) Will the new computer system require fewer operators than the current system requires?
number of Operators is out of scope for the argument. A YES/NO to this question will not affect the conclusion
(B) Has Mannis Corporation always stored its archival records in a computerized format?
We are not concerned whether it always stored in computer format. OOS. A YES/NO to this question will not affect the conclusion
(C) Will the new computer system that Mannis plans ensure greater security for the records stored than does Mannis’ current system?
Passage doesnt speak about security issues. A YES/NO to this question will not affect the conclusion.
(D) Will Mannis’ current collection of archival records be readily transferable to the new computer system?
(That Detective is the right question :) - Quote from I,Robot Movie)
A yes to this question will support the conclusion.
A no to this question will weaken the conclusion.

(E) Will the new computer system be able to perform many more tasks than the current system is able to perform?
The number of tasks it performs is not of concern to the passage. A YES/NO to this question will not affect the conclusion.

pick D.

Hope this helps!!
