Question

Difficulty: MediumCourse of Action

Statement: A severe spike in cyber fraud cases targeting senior citizens via illegal SIM cards issued without proper KYC (Know Your Customer) verification has been reported in a metropolitan city.

Proposed Courses of Action:
I. The local administration should immediately order the arrest of all regional managers of telecom service providers operating in the city.
II. The telecom regulatory authority should mandate biometric re-verification for active SIM cards and temporarily disable unverified connection numbers linked to suspicious activity.

Which of the proposed courses of action follow(s) logically from the statement?

  1. A
    Only course of action I follows
  2. Only course of action II followsAnswer
  3. C
    Both course of action I and II follow
  4. D
    Neither course of action I nor II follows

Answer

Only course of action II follows.
The correct answer is that only course of action II follows. A valid course of action must be feasible, realistic, and directly target the root cause of the problem without creating secondary chaos. Course of action II introduces procedural verification and blocks suspect connections, which directly mitigates illegal SIM usage.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the core problem presented in the statement.
The core problem is the rise in cyber fraud enabled by improperly verified (illegal) SIM cards.
Understanding the precise cause ensures proposed actions target the problem directly without arbitrary scope expansion.
2
Evaluate Course of Action I for administrative feasibility, proportionality, and fairness.
Course of Action I is invalid.
Arresting all telecom regional managers is an extreme, disproportionate measure that violates due administrative and legal procedures.
3
Evaluate Course of Action II for practical implementation and problem resolution.
Course of Action II is valid.
Biometric re-verification and disabling suspicious unverified connections directly addresses the loophole causing the cyber fraud.
