D.
550W
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

Upgrading a power supply to add a GPU typically requires more wattage to accommodate the additional power demands. Although the current power supply is 380W, adding a GPU with a six-pin power connector suggests a mid-range graphics card, which would likely need a total system power supply in the range of 450W to ensure adequate power for all components, providing a good balance between capacity and safety margins.
