But his luck had run its course, and now he was marooned on a rogue planet—fighting to save himself from a menace weapons could not kill. " And so, my dear," Dennis detected a faint irony in the phrase, " I'm afraid I can offer no competition to the beauties of five planets—or is it six? With regret I bow myself out, and knowing me as you do, you'll understand the futility of trying to convince me again. Anyway, there will be no temptation, for I'm sailing on a new assignment I've accepted. I did love you.... Good-by.

  Question: Why did George Randall's failure to follow orders result in Dennis' ship being pulled down to the planetoid?
  
   (A) The jets needed to be turned on and off at specific times to use the planetoid as a slingshot to catch Koerber. Since they got power at the wrong time, they were propelled to the planetoid's surface.
   (B) Since George Randall didn't follow the order to cut jets, that meant another crewman had to do it, which meant that crewman couldn't do his own job of positioning the magnetic repulsion plates.
   (C) With the jets still on, the magnetic repulsion plates could not be activated, resulting in them being tractored in by Koerber's ship.
   (D) With the jets still on, their ship could not "run silent" and avoid detection by Koerber's ship.
  Answer:
output: With the jets still on, the magnetic repulsion plates could not be activated, resulting in them being tractored in by Koerber's ship.
