A website shows a security sign but asks for a password in the name of a scholarship. What is the correct conclusion?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The connection may be secure but the request is suspicious
A browser security indicator generally describes how the connection is encrypted; it does not prove that the website owner or request is trustworthy. An unexpected password request related to a scholarship may be phishing. The student should stop, avoid entering credentials, and verify through an official channel, so C is correct.
