I’m torn between C and D. I know detection is key, but does it really measure response time? That’s tricky.

I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before, and it was about response times. But I’m not confident that’s what this is asking.

I think the probability of detection relates to how effective an electronic security system is, so I’m leaning towards option C.

I think the key here is understanding what "probability of detection" means in the context of a security system. That's the criteria I need to focus on to determine the best answer.

Wait, I'm confused. Is probability of detection about the security officer's response, or the time between detection and response? I'm not sure which one is the best description.

Okay, let me break this down. Probability of detection has to do with the effectiveness of the security system, so I'm guessing that's the right answer. I'll mark C.

That's a good point, Helga. But I still think option C is the best answer because it directly relates to the system's ability to detect threats.
