Multiple choice — select the best answer

AThe point at which FAR and FRR are equal, used to compare biometric systems
BThe maximum number of errors allowed per day
CThe error rate when both a card and PIN are used together
DThe rate at which a system requires re-enrollment

✓ Correct answer: A. The point at which FAR and FRR are equal, used to compare biometric systems The Equal Error Rate (EER) is the threshold setting at which the FAR equals the FRR. A lower EER indicates a more accurate biometric system, making it a useful benchmark for comparing different technologies.
