    B forces Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ingenuity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D findings Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E conceal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    We need a plural noun to be modified by the number 20 as well as the adjective CRITICAL. The sentence continues to talk about the reports or information on issues with regard to Wear OS and Android Automotive OS and follows up with talking about reports on issues with regard to Nest, Fitbit, and Wearables. FINDINGS (reports or information discovered during examination) will fit here. Thus, D is the right answer. The other options are either grammatically or contextually incorrect. Deference (noun) - polite submission or respect. It is an uncountable noun. Forces (verb) - to make someone do something against their will. Ingenuity (noun) - the quality of being clever, original, and inventive. It is also an uncountable noun. Conceal (verb) - not allowed to see; hide.
