Answer:

A. Calibrate the battery

Step-by-step explanation:

It is unlikely that the battery has deteriorated significantly in the timespan of six months. The laptop is likely being shut down due to inaccurate battery levels to protect the laptop. Battery calibration will ensure accurate battery information is reported.
