D. monkey

Then she chose the half and half option, and the computer eliminated the two incorrect options, leaving only options A and B. However, this was still not a sufficient solution.

Many have noticed that what counts in the program now is not knowledge, but the ability to understand “what the author had in mind”, although this can be quite a challenge.
An absurd question phrased in an absurd way
It used to be a game show that tested knowledge, today you first have to understand the question, because someone thought it was cool if they made things even more complicated.
