Question :

In the context of the passage, all of the following can be considered examples of human-centered automation EXCEPT:

A.
software that offers interpretations when requested by the human operator.
B.
software that auto-completes text when the user writes an email.
C.
medical software that provides optional feedback on the doctor's analysis of the medical situation.
D.

a smart-home system that changes the temperature as instructed by the resident.

Option B is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

In the fourth paragraph, the passage warns that software prompts that guide patient exams can constrict doctors' thinking. Auto-completion of text is also prompt by software. This is the kind of automation the passage speaks out against.
In the last paragraph, the passage explains how human-centered automation works: "It takes over routine functions that a human operator has already mastered, issues alerts when unexpected situations arise, provides fresh information that expands the operator's perspective and counters the biases that often distort human thinking." Options A, C and D relate to such functions.
