Answer:

The answer is "option b".

Step-by-step explanation:

She will forget to use thermal paste. This paste is used to fill the gaps between the motherboard and the processor. It enables you to pass heat from the heat spreader to the heat sink easier. It works when your CPU operates at a higher temperature. and other options are wrong, that can be described as follows:

  • In option a, The overclocked is a component of the operating system, that is used to run the system faster that's why it is not correct.
  • In option c, This option is not correct because, if the processor is not compatible so it will not be fixed in the motherboard.
  • In option d, If the processor is not seated properly, the system will not turn on.
