Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Using the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media tool and unplugging and reattaching the card reader can reset the connection and allow the media to be recognized again in Windows File Explorer. Restarting the computer or using a different card slot may also work, but the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media tool is the most efficient and safe option. Option D is not a valid solution.
