参考答案【正确答案：A】
根据题干关键词"Most of the cost of cybercrime"定位到第四段第二、三句Most of the cost of cybercrime，it concludes，is indirect，such as spending on antivirus software or other corporate defences. In other words, a lot goes on payments by one lot of businesses to another：the computer-security industry。此两句意为“大部分针对网络犯罪的成本损失都是间接的，比如说杀毒软件或其他公司防卫手段的支出。换句话说，大部分花费支付给了另一类行业：计算机安全保障行业”。故A项“被计算机安全保障行业获得”符合题意，为正确答案。此题的易混项为F项“直接花在杀毒软件或其他公司防卫手段上”，此项是对第二句话的误解，故排除。
