1. (2023八下·萧山期中) 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C,和D）中选出最佳选项。

Technology in sports is a beautiful thing, but sometimes even the greatest inventions can go wrong. This happened in a soccer game in Scotland, when an AI-controlled camera got confused （困惑的），and thought a lineman's bald head was the ball. It has got everyone talking online how technology once again affected the match in the wrong way.

When the COVID-19 stopped fans attending the match between Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Ayr United at the Caledonian Stadium, the Inverness club decided to live stream （现场直播）its games, using an AI-controlled camera to make sure people always get the best view. But things didn't go as planned. The camera couldn't tell the difference between the ball and the bald head, continually focusing on a man standing around not doing much, rather than letting fans see the action.

To make matters worse, Scotland is under strict social distancing measures. With no fans in attendance this was the only way for fans to watch the match, and instead they were treated to 90 minutes of head watching.

Although the match ended a 1:1 draw, more than the team's effort, it was the gaffe（过失）that stole all the attention online. As many started to tag the camera company to complain and demand answers, a spokesperson in a tweet said, "We are aware of the issue and we are already working on improving this for the next game. We hope that this will not happen again and that your viewing experience will be better. Thank you. "
