Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the excerpt. The relevant sentence is: "Far from civilization, health issues of the crew, as well as equipment problems, have hindered Nauticos’ work...". So we match this with the options. Option B is "crew members’ health issues" (matches "health issues of the crew") and Option C is "equipment problems" (matches "equipment problems"). Other options: A (no mention of inexperienced crew), D (near - freezing temps are for preservation, not a hindrance), E (they use sonar, so no lack of tech access).

Answer:

B. crew members’ health issues, C. equipment problems
