Why it is correct

Why the others are not
- a) 'Release' means to let go/unfasten, the opposite of 'afianzar' ('secure').
- b) 'In launch sequence' means 'en la secuencia de puesta a flote', not 'most convenient sequence'.
- d) Mistranslates both 'release' and 'in launch sequence'.
How to work it out in the exam
