Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Safe mode loads only essential drivers and services to help troubleshoot system problems. It deliberately does NOT load nonessential icons, programs, or many device drivers - this minimal load is what makes it useful for diagnosis. Option B states it loads all nonessential icons, which is the opposite of safe mode's purpose.
