Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Technician A is correct because a generic Hand-Held Electronic Service Tool (HH-EST) can indeed be used to read data from a truck's data bus, serving as an alternative to using a PC. Technician B is also correct because one of the disadvantages of using generic HH-ESTs is that they may not be compatible with all Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) software systems, limiting their functionality with certain vehicles.
