Answer options

• C. The amount of time it takes to be either accepted or rejected form when an individual provides Identification and authentication information.
• D. How long it takes to setup individual user accounts. C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as processing speed refers to the time taken to determine whether the provided biometric information is accepted or rejected.
