Not sure about that... seems like they’d need more than just a serial number.

Hashes seem crucial for integrity checks, but I don't think that's part of the initial description, so I’m leaning towards B as well.

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this, and I think it was about identifying key system info, which might point to B again.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about log files being more relevant later in the process.
