Suggested Answer: C

The best way to complete the upgrade with the least amount of downtime is to clone the HDD to the SSD using cloning software, and then replace the HDD with the SSD. This way, the user does not have to reinstall the operating system and applications, or copy over their data manually. The other options would either take more time or result in data loss or inaccessibility. Verified Reference: [How to Upgrade Your Laptop's Hard Drive to an SSD].
