Answer:

A. A only

Step-by-step explanation:

Airbags are safety features added to vehicles to prevent or reduce the shock impact during a collision.

Disconnecting the negative battery cable would prevent power from reaching the airbag system, but the airbag system has a capacitor that stores charges at initial incidents and would deploy the bags. After a collision, the airbag leads are shot off preventing the airbag system power.
