This is a tricky one, if the guy was following all the correct steps changing the GPU and drivers should have been one of the later solutions. It makes sense to check cabling first, then test a new monitor, then replace gpu. I guess if he neglected to check cabling that would be the correct answer. Plus color hues are a common symptom of VGA cables not being plugged in correctly/damaged.

A is the correct answer The pink hue is most likely caused by physical cabling issues the output on a monitor is clear but has a pink hue, it could be due to an issue with the physical cabling connecting the monitor to the computer. The video signal may be degraded or distorted due to a damaged or loose cable. The technician should check and replace the cable if necessary to resolve the issue.

From Intel website: Article describing solution for when pink screen is shown when using the system- Check that the video cable is firmly connected to the display and to the system. A loose connection can result in discoloration. Try a different video cable to connect the system to the monitor. The video cable can be damaged or faulty.

The answer is C, display burn-in. Burn-in is a phenomenon that occurs when a static image is displayed on a monitor for an extended period of time. The image can become permanently etched into the monitor's screen, resulting in a pink hue. The other options are not as likely. Physical cabling issues (A) can cause problems with the output of a monitor, but they are not likely to cause a pink hue. Burned-out bulb (B) is a possibility, but it is less likely than display burn-in. Incorrect data source (D) is not likely to cause a pink hue.

Burned-out bulb is the most likely cause of a clear monitor output with a pink hue. When the bulb or backlight of a monitor goes bad, it can cause a pink or reddish tint to the image.

The most likely cause of the pink hue on the monitor is a physical cabling issue. A pink hue can be caused by poor cable connectivity, a damaged cable, or incorrect cable type used. The video card and graphics drivers have already been updated and replaced, which eliminates them as potential causes. Display burn-in occurs over a prolonged period of time, whereas this issue is happening immediately. Incorrect data source can cause display issues, but is unlikely to cause a specific hue like pink. A burned-out bulb can cause color issues but would likely result in a complete loss of display, not just a hue change.

Answer is B.

A. https://smallbusiness.chron.com/pink-screen-computer-56540.html Usually this problem is caused by faulty connections, faulty cabling, a bad video driver, or failing hardware.

Actually it's Display Burn-in, hence the pink color.
