Security Expert: Everyday thousands of people find themselves victims of burglary. The average loss, based on the value of commonly stolen property, is roughly $10,000. Alarm systems with 24-hour monitoring dramatically reduce the chances of a break-in. Though this is a desirable result, a lifetime subscription to such a service costs about $13,000, and so it cannot be recommended for a typical homeowner.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the conclusion of the argument?
(A) One study has shown that simply putting up alarm warning signs to scare potential thieves has almost the same capacity for reducing burglaries as does paying for 24-hour home monitoring. your answer
(B) A frequent consequence of home burglary is identity theft, the cost of which is not taken into account when experts consider the average loss to victims. correct
(C) Home break-ins are far more common in suburban areas located near commercial districts than they are in purely residential areas.
(D) 24-hour home monitoring, unlike traditional alarms that simply alert the police, uses a team of security workers who electronically survey the home for threats.
(E) The bulk of the cost of home monitoring comes from paying human employees to continually report on the home's condition.
OA and explanation after some constructive discussions!
