A Correct answer
Explanation

As computers were not in existence at that time, which implies their presence in that movie was a chronological error. “Anachronism” means the representation of something as existing or occurring at other than its proper time, hence fits our prediction. “Euphemism” means the use of a word or phrase that is less expressive or direct.
