Which of the following is an example of multifactor authentication?

  1. Username and password

  2. Smart card only

  3. Biometric scan only

  4. Smart card and PIN

The correct answer is: Smart card and PIN

Multifactor authentication refers to the use of multiple forms of identification to access a system or account. Options A, B, and C only require one form of identification, making them single-factor authentication methods. Option D, using both a smart card and a PIN, is an example of multifactor authentication as it requires two forms of identification.
