Option B is the correct answer.
Option B would invalidate the main argument because it directly addresses the issue raised in the passage, i.e.,
the lack of permanent access to digital content. The passage highlights concerns about the temporary and
restricted nature of digital ownership. If studios and streaming services committed to providing perpetual and
platform-independent access, it would resolve the problem of content being removed or restricted, making the
author's argument about the instability of digital media irrelevant.
Option A: This would not invalidate the argument because the passage mentions that Blu-ray discs have a
theoretical shelf life but acknowledges that their durability depends on storage conditions and the availability of
playback equipment.
Option C: This option doesn't directly invalidate the argument either. While VPNs might help users bypass georestrictions, it doesn't address the broader issue of digital ownership and the fragility of digital rights, especially
the fear of losing access to content due to different rights agreements. The passage focuses on the
unreliability and restrictions of digital ownership, not just geographical access.
Option D: While this option touches on the potential for preserving digital content, it doesn't directly address the
problem raised in the passage: the lack of permanent, independent access to content.
