A 99.9% defect rate means that there is a 0.1% chance of a defect occurring. For option A, the likelihood of one incorrect surgical procedure every 10 years would require a much lower defect rate. Option C is too extreme and unrealistic. Option D suggests that only one correct surgical procedure is performed each year, which is not related to a defect rate. Therefore, option B (two landing errors at major airports every day) is the best choice as it aligns with a 0.1% chance of defects occurring.
