The correct answer is:
A. to inform the reader about protecting one's identity.
The passage emphasizes the importance of being cautious while shopping online and provides tips for protecting personal information and avoiding scams.
Don't Get Caught in the Net
When you are shopping online, be careful. When you buy items with a credit or debit card, you have to remember to be careful about to whom you give the information. You need to make sure that the Web site you are buying from protects your personal information. Any reliable Web site will have taken the proper steps to make sure that your information is kept from people who will misuse it.
There are people on the Internet who are trying to steal personal information, but there are also people on the Internet who sell fake goods, but tell you they are selling the real thing. There are also people who run fake storefronts that will take your order, take your money, but never send you the item you purchased. You shouldn’t rely on credit or debit card companies to protect you from these people. You need to protect yourself by doing a little research on any Web site from which you make a purchase. Bad design, lack of updates, lack of email addresses, and pictures of products that have been taken from other Web sites can all be clues that tell you not to trust a Web site. Also, you need to remember that if the deal seems to be too good to be true, it probably is.
