Suggested answer: B, E

Explanation:

A CMOS battery failure can cause the server to lose its BIOS settings, including the date and time, which can affect the server's functionality and connectivity. The servers have NTP (Network Time Protocol) configured to synchronize their clocks with a reliable time source, which can prevent time drift and ensure consistent timestamps. If one server has a wrong date and time, it can cause conflicts and errors with the other servers that have NTP configured.
