An audible beep from a UPS every few seconds usually indicates a problem with the battery connection or power source. The most common cause is that the battery cable is disconnected, meaning the UPS cannot access its battery backup. This issue often occurs after installation or maintenance when the battery is not properly reconnected.

I think A is the answer. UPSs make periodic sounds, usually to indicate some problem or anomaly. One of the most common causes is a battery-related problem. In this situation, it is wise to first check for the simplest and most likely cause, a poor battery cable connection, since the newly installed UPS is sounding the warning tone. This is an easy fix and often solves the problem.

If you've lost power, it's beeping to let you know that the battery is in use, and that you should save your work and shut down your computer. A constant beep (every second or two, and never stopping) generally means the UPS is very low on battery power, and you should shut down immediately. Of the following options it is the most likely although the beeps really mean there is a power issue but from which direction... unplugged? bad battery? low battery? https://www.wingswept.com/uninterruptible-power-supply-beeping/#
