Sure, let me explain. In the diagram, there are four separate states that the system can be in - initial, fingerprint authentication, password authentication, and logged in. So, I believe the answer is D) 4.

Four states, huh? Looks like someone's been playing too much Tetris.

3 states? Nah, I'm going with 2. One for fingerprint, one for password. Simple as that.

Wait, is that a fingerprint or a blob of jam? I can never tell the difference.
