Selected Answer: B
B- This is an example of "something you are". The use of a fingerprint to unlock a mobile device is a biometric authentication method that relies on unique physical characteristics of the user, in this case, their fingerprint. Biometric authentication falls under the category of "something you are" factor of authentication. The other factors of authentication are "something you know", such as a password or PIN, "something you have", such as a security token or smart card, and "somewhere you are", such as a location-based authentication.
