System Reliability
The probability that an entire system or network will function as intended for a specific period under given conditions.
Reliabilities
Measures of the probability that a system or component will perform its required function for a specified period under stated conditions.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The reliability of a series system is the product of the reliabilities of its components, so the system reliability is 0.9 * 0.7 * 0.5 = 0.315.
