I'm pretty sure B is the right answer, but I'm also a little concerned about the power failures mentioned in A. Maybe I should invest in a backup generator just in case!

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like the exam is trying to catch us off guard with these RBI questions? Better not fall for any red herrings!

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards B, but I hope the exam doesn't have any trick questions up its sleeve!

Option A seems too narrow, and C is about environmental impact, not failure mechanisms. B definitely covers the key point here.

The question is testing our understanding of RBI analysis. I think the correct answer is B, as it covers other potential failure scenarios beyond just inspectable causes.
