Slade Massey · Answer 1

The answer is option d.

Explanation:

Congress adopted an Act that accepted the use of electronic signatures across all the fifty states of the United States of America. Thr president signed this into law in the same year of 2000.

E-signs refer to electronic signatures. In layman terms, rather than only a signature made in writing being considered as legally valid, an electronic signature was accepted as being legally valid as well. The law was introduced in part to correct the issues arising from different states having their own divergent laws concerning electronic signatures at a state level. This act made it a standard that would be applied all the 50 states.
