B) Technician B only
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Both Technician A and Technician B are correct. Discharged batteries can lead to insufficient power being supplied to the starter, causing it to click without turning the engine. Similarly, corrosion on the starter's insulated terminal can impede electrical flow, also resulting in a clicking sound without the engine cranking.
