Explanation
B is correct because Energy Star certification exclusively covers energy efficiency - it measures and certifies how much energy a product consumes during operation, not how easily it can be disassembled or recycled at end-of-life.
Option A is wrong because recyclability is outside the scope of Energy Star's certification criteria entirely. If you need PCs that are easy to recycle, you should look for EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) certification instead, which evaluates full product lifecycle criteria including recyclability and material content.
Memory tip: Think of Energy Star as only caring about the star of the show - energy. Anything beyond power consumption (recycling, materials, toxins) is handled by a different certification. "Energy Star = Energy Only."
