re: security alarm
many businesses in the city have been burglarized. to protect the companys assets, we have installed a new security alarm in the office building. we will be less vulnerable to crime, which means the company will not be helpless against criminal activity. when the system is activated, the alarm will go off if the system detects any movement inside the building. the system automatically alerts the local police when the alarm sounds. someone from the police station will call the office to determine if the alarm was accidentally tripped.
every employee will be given an identification card with a unique number. the identification number will activate and deactivate the alarm system. do not write your identification number on your employee badge or share your number with anyone. memorize your number and store the card in a safe place.
if you accidentally trip the alarm, go to the keypad and enter your identification

Explanation:

The passage states that "less vulnerable to crime, which means the company will not be helpless against criminal activity." So, "vulnerable" is defined as "defenseless" (helpless) in this context.

Answer:

B) defenseless
