Explicación

## Step 1The problem is asking us to identify the cause-and-effect relationship described in the article. The cause-and-effect relationship is a logical connection between an event (the cause) and a subsequent event (the effect).## Step 2We need to analyze each option and determine which one correctly represents a cause-and-effect relationship.## Step 3Option A states that a 46-cent computer chip malfunctioned, which caused a warning system to alert the military that 200 Soviet missiles were headed for the U.S. This is a clear cause-and-effect relationship, where the malfunctioning of the computer chip (cause) leads to the alert of the military (effect).## Step 4Option B suggests that the alarm at one U.S military base was wired wrong, which caused an American soldier to mistake a bear climbing a fence for an intruder. This is also a cause-and-effect relationship, but it is not as clear as option A.## Step 5Option C says that the computer software was certain that the moon rising over Norway was a Soviet attack, which caused the U.S. to order a counterattack. This is a cause-and-effect relationship, but it is not as clear as option A.## Step 6Option D states that Soviet officers wanted to launch missiles that would have killed half of the United Kingdom's population, which caused U.S destroyers to fire. This is a cause-and-effect relationship, but it is not as clear as option A.
