Vibrating equipment? That's what they call a 'shaky' situation! I bet the inspectors are feeling a bit rattled.

I'm going with C. Once that crack starts, it's just a matter of time before the whole thing falls apart. This stuff is making my head spin!

I'm torn between B and D. Predicting the crack location and the vibration issues both seem like major obstacles in high-cycle fatigue inspections.
