A.
they were led by the data processed by digital templates.
B.
the digital templates forced them to acquire tunnel vision.
C.
they used the wrong type of digital templates for the case.
D.

the data collected were not sufficient for appropriate triage.

Option is the correct answer.

Explanatory Answer

According to the passage, researchers in the Ebola misdiagnosis case believe that the digital templates used by the hospital's clinicians to record patient information “probably helped to induce a kind of tunnel vision". So, the doctors were led by the data processed by digital templates.
Note that option B is incorrect as it says the templates "forced" doctors to acquire tunnel vision. This is too extreme.
