Really? Double-press? That sounds weird.

I don't think it's D because that sounds more like a different recovery method. I feel like A or B is the right choice.

I thought it was option B, but I might be mixing it up with how you start up in safe mode.

I remember practicing this, and I feel like it's definitely about holding the power button, but I can't recall if it's just a long press or something else.

I think it's option A, but I'm not entirely sure if it's double-press or just holding the button.
