This is not my homework. This is a question that I'm uncertain about it's meaning. I don't know whether B or C is correct. I have included the two answers in my head in the subject of my post. I have also looked the word up in the dictionary and this is what I found.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis (from
ancient Greek διάγνωσις = discernment) is the identification of the nature and cause of anything. Diagnosis is used in many different
disciplines with variations in the use of
logics,
analytics, and
experience to determine the
cause and effect relationships. In
systems engineering and
computer science, diagnosis is typically used to determine the causes of symptoms, mitigations for problems, and solutions to issues.
