a. a cash card contains an embedded microchip.
b. a smart card is more secure than a cash card.
c. a smart card carries no spending limits.

Explanation:

Smart cards have embedded microchips which enable encryption and authentication, making them more secure. Cash cards typically don't have such advanced security features.

• Option A: Cash cards don't have embedded microchips (smart cards do).
• Option C: Smart cards can have spending limits (e.g., prepaid smart cards).
• Option D: Cash cards are usually prepaid and not directly tied to a bank account like a debit card.

B. A smart card is more secure than a cash card.
