Given the scenario described, where the new phone froze during data transfer but functioned properly afterward, and the old phone showed no functionality issues, the most likely reason for the data transfer failure is: B. The older phone had a corrupted OS. If the new phone froze specifically during the data transfer process, it suggests that there might have been some compatibility or corruption issue with the data being transferred from the old phone. While the old phone passed all forms of device testing, it's still possible that there was a corruption or glitch in the operating system that caused the data transfer to fail on the new phone. Therefore, the most probable reason for the data transfer failure is that the older phone had a corrupted operating system.
