C) Consumers are sufficiently aware of the importance of keeping their systems virus-free.

ANSWER

Answer: A
Explanation: A) If a virus can take down an entire network, it must have the ability to spread through the network. Choice B: Scofield thinks that the threat posed by viruses is growing but does not assume that anti-virus measures are adequate to deal with the threat even currently. Choices C and D: Scofield does not assume anything about the awareness of consumers or businesses of virus threats. Choice E is incorrect because although Scofield focuses on viruses’ and malware’s ability to bring down networks, Scofield does not assume anything about other uses of malware.
