Identify the assumptions that must be implicit for the statement to be valid. Statement: Despite improved internet speeds, cybersecurity threats continue to increase globally. Assumptions:
I. Faster internet increases digital exposure.
II. Cyber threats are unaffected by internet speed.
III. Cybersecurity measures are inadequate worldwide.

Statement: Despite improved internet speeds, cybersecurity threats continue to increase globally. Assumptions: I. Faster internet increases digital exposure. This is implicit . Improved internet speeds usually lead to more online activity, which can increase exposure to cyber threats. II. Cyber threats are unaffected by internet speed. This is not necessary. The statement does not say threats are independent of speed; it only says they continue to increase despite improvements. III. Cybersecurity measures are inadequate worldwide. This is implicit . If threats are increasing globally despite technological improvement, it suggests current cybersecurity measures are not sufficient. So, only I and III are implicit. Thus, correct option is (b).
