B Correct answer
Explanation

‘Rebellion’ means organised resistance. Due to crashing of the computer there can be chaos or disorder but not organised resistance or upheaval (violent change). ‘Mayhem’ meaning havoc or riotous confusion, is the correct answer. As there was havoc, customers would be irritated and they would use abusive language or invectives. Other words are out of context.
