Question 38: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3: “Over time, ‘AI’ risks becoming an empty badge, useful for signalling, useless for clarity, and that makes honest comparisons harder.”?

A. If the term "AI" continues to be used for signalling, it will eventually provide the necessary clarity for consumers to compare different products.

B. The persistent devaluation of the "AI" label may result in a decorative term that indicates modernism but fails to provide meaningful information for evaluation.

C. To prevent "AI" from becoming an empty badge, firms must ensure that their signalling strategies are more useful than their technical clarity.

D. Comparing products becomes easier when "AI" is used as a symbolic badge because it signals to investors which firms are truly ambitious.
