Answer: C

Explanation:

Note: Boot counters are a troubleshooting mechanism that is designed into the Unity architecture to help pinpoint the specific cause of software or hardware events during the boot sequence. If the Unity system detects a problem with software or hardware components, its corresponding Boot Counter is incremented. If a counter reaches a predefined threshold, the SP boots into Service Mode during its next boot cycle.
