(B) Law enforcement forces in North America are stronger than those in any other regions in the world. The US and Canadian governments have always 26 their citizens from cybercrime by continuously beefing up their legislative and enforcement efforts. Just this year, US law enforcement agencies have taken down DRIDEX5, SIMDA6 and BEEBONE7 — major online organizations that had previously served as the backbone to many cybercriminal activities. 27 these major operations against cybercrime, we are still seeing a brazen and thriving underground economy in the region. Underground merchants know that using credit cards is likely to lead to arrests. To mitigate related risks, many sellers accept alternative means of payment. Virtual 28 like bitcoins and WebMoney, along with payment transfers through service providers like Western Union and MoneyGram, are thus often used. These 29 of payment allow maximum protection by keeping transfers anonymous. Unlike law-abiding online payment service providers like PayPal, 30 requires ties to legitimate bank accounts, fake identities are used to send and receive payments, leaving virtually no trace of ties to the parties involved.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格前的逗號，以及空格後方緊接的動詞「requires」。這代表空格中的詞彙需要同時具備兩個功能：第一是「指代前面的 PayPal」，第二是「在後方的子句中擔任執行動作的角色」。在這種『補充說明』的結構下，你認為什麼性質的詞彙可以同時連結前後，又能在逗號後方安全地使用呢？

很高興看到你準確地選出了 (D) which！這顯示你對英文子句結構的掌握非常扎實，特別是能敏銳地察覺到標點符號與語法功能之間的連結。
非限定用法的關係代名詞
這題的關鍵點在於空格前的那個「逗號」。在句子中，law-abiding online payment service providers like PayPal 是我們要修飾的對象，而空格後方的 requires 是一個動詞，這表示空格處必須填入一個既能代表前面的「PayPal」，又能擔任後方動詞「主詞」的關係代名詞。在英文語法中，當我們要對先行詞進行額外補充（非限定用法）時，必須使用 which 而不能使用 that。此外，由於 PayPal 是單數，後方的動詞使用 requires 也完全符合主謂一致的原則。
