Question

Read the excerpt from The Code Book.

Alternatively, imagine that a bank receives an e-mail from a client, which instructs that all the client's funds should be transferred to a private numbered bank account in the Cayman Islands. Once again, without a handwritten signature, how does the bank know that the e-mail is really from the client? The e-mail could have been written by a criminal attempting to divert the money to his own Cayman Islands bank account. In order to develop trust on the Internet, it is essential that there is some form of reliable digital signature.

How does the author support the claim that "it is essential that there is some form of reliable digital signature”?

by sharing statistics about stolen money that was sent to the Cayman Islands

The correct answer is D. By describing an example of how money could be stolen and sent abroad

Step-by-step explanation:

In the excerpt presented, the author explains a hypothetical situation in which a bank is asked through e.mail to transfer the funds of a client to a different bank account, about this, the author remarks as e-mails do not have a handwritten signature it would not be possible for the bank to know whether the e-mail is written by the owner of the account or a criminal and then ends the text with the main claim or idea that is "it is essential that there is some form of reliable digital signature", this means the information presented before the claim support this by providing a hypothetical situation or an example of the consequences of not having a reliable digital signature and the way money could be stolen as a consequence. Therefore, the author supports the claim by describing an example of how money could be stolen and sent abroad.
