Automated flight technology is extremely reliable, but still doesn't totally protect against human error.

The correct answer choice will be a hypothesis explaining how automated flight technology can still be vulnerable to human error, even when the technology is functioning correctly. The hypothesis will show how human error and automated technology are able to interact despite seemingly belonging to separate domains.

This isn't relevant to the stimulus, which is only talking about automated flight technology that functions correctly.

This has the same problem as (A): the stimulus is talking about reliable, properly-functioning automated flight technology, so any unreliable out-of-date technology is irrelevant.

Like (A) and (B), this talks about malfunctioning flight technology, which is irrelevant. The paradox is how properly-functioning automated flight equipment can be vulnerable to human error.

This doesn’t show susceptibility to human error, which is what we need.

Automated flight technology is entirely controlled by humans, and by extension liable to human error. One faulty human command can cause reliable, properly-functioning equipment to perfectly execute a mistaken process. This explains the paradox.
