Is r%Dv$ considered a strong password according to the text?

• A. Yes
• B. Sometimes
• C. Unknown
• D. No

Answer: (D)

Password strength comes from both length and character variety. A strong password should be long enough to resist brute-force attacks and include a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols to raise entropy. In the text’s criteria, a minimum length is required along with complexity.

The string r%Dv$ uses different character types (lowercase, uppercase, symbol) but is only five characters long. That short length means there are far fewer possible combinations, so it doesn’t meet the strength threshold described. Therefore, it is not considered strong according to the text.
