Explanation Preview
Paragraph E states that 'Independent reports on these trials revealed alarmingly high inaccuracy rates' and that 'one report on the Metropolitan Police’s system found that 81% of the ‘matches’ it generated were incorrect.' This directly points to a high number of false identifications, as described in option C.
