Passage
Game

Computer security experts correctly maintain that computer passwords are a less secure means of protecting one's information than are alternative security options like fingerprint scanners. But computer passwords are not going to be replaced by these other options anytime soon. The alternative security options remain significantly more expensive to employ, and they can replace passwords only if they become standard on most of the world's computers.

The conclusion drawn above follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?

There are ways to make computer passwords a more secure means of protecting one's information.

Any security option that is no more expensive to employ than computer passwords provides less security than computer passwords.

Most computer security experts do not believe that computer passwords will be replaced by an alternative security option anytime soon.

Security options that are significantly more expensive to employ than computer passwords will not become standard on most of the world's computers anytime soon.

As soon as a security option is developed that is not significantly more expensive to employ than computer passwords, computer passwords will be replaced as a security measure.
