Haha, system overheating? That's like asking which of these is a risk for a human driver: flat tire, speeding, or a sudden rainstorm. C'mon, that's just too easy.

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is B, D, and E. Although, I can't help but wonder if the person who wrote this question is the same one who still uses a flip phone.
