Answer 2

Answer:  c. You have little risk of having your credit card number intercepted.

====================================

Explanation:

Choice A is false because it is an advantage to be able to choose goods from any vendor from anywhere in the world. The more competition, the better the outcome for the consumer.

Choice B can also be ruled out since that's also an advantage for the consumer. You don't have to worry about shop closure and that kind of time pressure is non-existent with online shops.

Choice D is also a non-answer because shopping online is faster than shopping in a brick-and-mortar store.

The only thing left is choice C. There is a risk a person's credit card could be intercepted or stolen. This usually would occur if the online shop isn't using a secure method of transmitting the credit card info, or their servers are insecure when they store the data. If strong encryption is applied, then this risk can be significantly reduced if not eliminated entirely.
