Final answer:

RFID tags can hold much more information than a barcode, depending on their memory capacity. The RFID technology includes an antenna and a chip with information, a reader containing a radio transmitter and receiver, and the tag remains inactive until radio frequency energy powers it to emit information.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the statements about RFID mentioned in the options A, B, C, and D are true except for option A. An RFID tag cannot hold 20 times more information than a barcode. In fact, RFID tags can hold much more information than a barcode, depending on their memory capacity. Apart from this, options B, C, and D are all characteristics of RFID technology.
