Which of the following best completes the passage below?

Credit card companies are as concerned about identity theft as private citizens are. With only a short string of digits such as a social security or credit card number, thieves can often gain online access to everything from bank accounts to travel itineraries, creating large-scale problems. Anxiety over the vulnerability of personal information has led to stronger protective measures and is the impetus for .


* longer jail sentences for those convicted of committing online identity theft
* credit card companies limiting the amount of money they will return to customers who are victims of identity theft
* some customers choosing to maintain several lower-limit credit cards rather than have a single card with a very high credit limit
* fewer people than ever before applying for new credit card accounts
* a new kind of credit card that uses fingerprint authentication to generate a second code required for checkout

Interested in your approach B-)

IMO E

Since in the passage it is mentioned that currently with only short string of digits (SSN, Credit Card number) security could be breached easily. So adding more levels of security and authentication measures will reduce identiy theft.

E states one them
