Model Answer
B — There is no reliable mechanism to verify whether the information declared in the affidavit is accurate.
Explanation
The source passage states: "there is no system to check if the information given by the candidates is true." This directly supports option B. The reform discloses information but cannot ensure its accuracy, making verification the key limitation. Options A, C, and D contradict the passage.
