Reasoning:
Let's denote the size of a large server as L and the size of a smaller server as S.
According to the data provided, we have two equations:
2L + 4S = 64.............(1)
and
L + 3S = 40...............(2)
To solve the equations, we proceed as follows:
2(2)-(1)
2L - 2L + 6S - 4S = 2*40 - 64
2S = 16
thus, S = 8..................(3), which indicates the size of the small server
Using (3) in (2) yields
L + 3(8) = 40
L = 40 - 24 = 16..............indicating the size of the large server

Answer:
Option (A) is the correct choice.
Explanation:
The situation describes an invalid boot disk error occurring during startup, indicating that the system fails to recognize the hard disk necessary for booting.
MBR / GPT is the partition layout that holds the essential code for system startup. Occasionally, the partition files that contain this code may become corrupt, causing an invalid boot disk error during the boot process.
Therefore, the most fitting answer is option (A).
The remaining choices are incorrect for these reasons:
- If the boot system malfunctions, it cannot produce an invalid boot disk error.
- If the files of the operating system are corrupted, the error will pertain to missing files.
- A device driver cannot influence the system's booting process.
