BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

IC3's reported totals for 2017–2021 were 2.76 Million complaints and $18.7 Billion in total losses because these figures reflect the aggregated incident counts and monetary impact the FBI tracked over that five‑year span.

1. Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) publishes annual and multi‑year summaries of reported cybercrime complaints (a count) and associated monetary losses (a dollar amount).
- Interpreting multi‑year totals requires checking both the plausibility of complaint counts (orders of magnitude) and the scale of financial loss.

2. Step‑by‑step reasoning
- From the provided answer choices, we must pair one complaints total with one losses total.
- Compare each complaints candidate with typical IC3 annual volumes and the five‑year aggregation.
- Compare each monetary candidate with historically reported multi‑year loss totals.

3. Intermediate calculations and checks
- If 2.76 Million complaints is spread over 5 years: 2.76M ÷ 5 = 0.552M complaints/year (552,000/year), which aligns with IC3’s typical annual complaint volumes.
- If $18.7 Billion losses over 5 years: $18.7B ÷ 5 = $3.74B/year, consistent with reported annual losses in the billions.

4. Why the correct answer is correct
- The pair 2.76 Million complaints and $18.7 Billion losses is internally consistent with expected IC3 reporting levels and matches the authoritative answer provided. Both magnitude and per‑year averages are plausible given known IC3 statistics.

5. Why the other options are incorrect (briefly)
- Complaints: 11.8M, 230M, 1.23B are much larger and would imply implausibly high annual complaint rates relative to known IC3 data; “a few” is obviously too small.
- Losses: $1.03 Trillion and $132.4 Billion are far larger than reported IC3 totals for five years; $1.9 Billion is likely too low for the 5‑year aggregate; “hardly any” is incorrect.

6. Conclusion
The correct selection is 2.76 Million complaints and $18.7 Billion in total losses, which matches the provided answer.
