Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

When a new GPU is installed and results in lower screen resolution and picture quality, it's often because the appropriate OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) drivers for the GPU have not been installed. Without these drivers, the operating system may revert to generic drivers that do not fully support the GPU's capabilities, leading to suboptimal performance. Installing the correct OEM drivers should resolve the issue and allow the GPU to function at its intended performance level.
