Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Saya is asking the USPTO to reexamine the validity of Ramona's patent in light of prior art, which could include Saya's product if it was available before Ramona filed her patent application. This process checks if Ramona's invention was truly novel and non-obvious at the time of her application.
