Explanation / Answer

1. C) something you know.

The three types of authentications are something you are like bio metrics, something you have like a smart card or other identity proof, and something you know like the password, etc.

2. B) biometrics

Biometrics is the user's identity in cyber security like the user’s fingerprints, user’s voice analysis, or his/her retina scan, as these features are unique to every individual user, hence they provide a unique identity to the user, as something you are.

3. A) two different types of authentication

Multifactor authentication in cyber security uses two or more different authentication techniques to identify the user. For example using fingerprint along with password.

4. False

A strong authentication can be a multi factor authentication; but is not necessarily a multifactor authentication. A multi factor authentication uses at least 2 types from the 3 types of authentication something you are, something you have, and something you know. A strong authentication can use n number of authentications from under the same category. If two authentication are used under the same category, for example retina scan and fingerprint analysis, then it can qualify s a strong authentication, but will not qualify as multifactor authentication as both of the authentication are from the something you have category.
