Lecturer: There are many benefits to connecting everyday objects like cars and home appliances to the internet to enable their owners to manage them remotely. But beware of doing so! With the rising number and variety of devices connected to it, the internet is becoming more complex and, consequently, more prone to security breaches by hackers. The consequences of a security breach are much graver with an internet-connected car or home appliance than with an internet-connected computer and might even include a risk to the life of the owner of these objects.

Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main conclusion of the lecturer's argument?

AThe gravity of the consequences suffered by the owner of an internet-connected car or home appliance in the event of a security breach outweighs the benefits that these devices offer.

BOwners of cars and home appliances should be cautious and alert to the dangers of connecting these objects to the internet.

CA security breach of a car or home appliance that is connected to the internet can be much more dangerous than a security breach of an internet-connected computer.

DThe vulnerability of the internet to security breaches is directly proportional to the number and variety of the devices connected to the internet.

EThe increasing connection of everyday objects such as cars and home appliances to the internet in the recent years has increased the overall vulnerability of the internet to security breaches.
