Which statement about the relationship between drug trafficking and cybercrime trait profiles is supported by the material?

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not known
• D. Some overlap

Answer: (B)

The main idea tested is whether there is a detectable link between the trait profiles of people involved in drug trafficking and those involved in cybercrime. The material presents evidence of shared characteristics across both groups—things like willingness to take calculated risks, adaptability, technical aptitude, and the ability to operate within illicit networks. Because these overlapping traits suggest a meaningful connection between the two types of criminal activity, the relationship is supported, so the statement is true.

Not knowing would imply no evidence exists, which isn’t the case here, and saying there is no relationship would contradict the material’s findings. Describing only “some overlap” would be a weaker claim than what the material supports, which is a broader linkage between the trait profiles across the two domains.
