Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The vending machines were NOT originally designed to entertain customers. The author of the passage states that the vending machines were “eventually updated to feature animated figures that would dance,” presumably to entertain customers, but the passage does not state that the machines were originally designed for entertainment purposes. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because according to the passage they are all true.
