Question

Will give Brainliest to the first correct answer.

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.

The evidence presented in the paragraph is a C. Hypothetical situation, this means a fictional scenario is presented by the author so the reader can imagine what could happen if an specific event occured. In this case, the intent of a criminal to divert money to his own account. Although this never happened, the author uses this scenario to set up his idea, showing why is it important and how vulnerable the system is. In this way the reader can relate to the problem and take a side.

In the paragraph the A. Who sends the information is the important subject as there is not an effective way of knowing it making it possible for scammers to falsify information. A "reliable digital signature" is needed in order to know without any doubt who is sending the message.
