One of the author’s purposes in The Code Book is to explain different types of codebreaking to his readers. Which line best demonstrates this purpose?

The line about the “tempest attack” describes a specific codebreaking technique: detecting electromagnetic signals from a computer’s display. That directly demonstrates the author explaining different types of codebreaking. The other choices discuss factoring, a theoretical breakthrough, or quantum computers without describing a particular attack method.
