Selected Answer: D
D. The HDD has no free space. One of the possible reasons for the sluggish performance of the PC could be a lack of free space on the hard disk drive (HDD). When the hard disk is filled to capacity, the operating system and applications are forced to compete for limited space, slowing down performance. The constant light on the HDD and slow input/output performance are signs that the disk is running close to its maximum capacity. The failed updates may also be a result of a lack of disk space as Windows updates require a certain amount of free space to be installed.

If HDD was failing then there should be grinding or ticking sounds. However, these are not mentioned. So I would go with D

" If your hard drive light stays on and your system is slow, it is most likely due to some or other hardware inadequacy or a full hard drive."

A might be the answer because it's taking long to start the OS.
