The answer says that answer is b). According to my research てならない is used for
feelings, and ようがない when something for some reason is impossible, but I have
found translations as extremely.

Also read this post, but it seems the nuance would be different, but answers
would still fit. [Contrasting 〜てならない、〜てしょうがない and
〜てたまらない](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/2766/contrasting-%E3%81%A6%E3%81%AA%E3%82%89%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84-%E3%81%A6%E3%81%97%E3%82%87%E3%81%86%E3%81%8C%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84-and-%E3%81%A6%E3%81%9F%E3%81%BE%E3%82%89%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84)




IMHO, b) and c) are equally correct. Both ～したくてたまらない and ～したくてしょうがない refer to
a strong and uncontrollable desire, which fits in this context well. The
difference between them is small, but maybe ～したくてしょうがない sounds slightly more
negative (i.e., may imply it's not considered good to do it). In this case,
saying c) might have a slightly stronger implication that it's bad to
prematurely use a new technology.

At least in modern Japanese, ～てならない is mainly used with adjectives and verbs
that represent the speaker's own spontaneous feelings (e.g. ～という気がしてならない,
不思議でならない, 悲しくてならない), but ～たくてならない is simply uncommon. In BCCWJ, there are only
two examples of ～たくてならない (and one example of ～たくてならぬ). But according to [this
article](https://www.lang.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~sugimura/achivement/pdf/020.pdf),
新潮文庫の100冊 (includes many older novels) has 11 examples of ～たくてならない, so it may
have been more common in the past. I don't see any reason why 使ってみたくてならない is
"incorrect", but I can say it's stiff and uncommon today.
