Hi dcoolguy!
Andrew and I generally agree.
On conclusion vs. inference question, a few clues that GMAC usually follows:
1. If they ask for the author's conclusion or the company's conclusion or the government's conclusion, you're probably looking at a conclusion question. If they ask for something that could be concluded from the passage, you're probably looking at an inference question.
2. Closely associated with the above, there's a difference between THE conclusion (conclusion) and A conclusion (inference). The latter can be concluded, but it isn't the conclusion.
3. The word "logically" in the question stem points to inference. Not always, but usually.
Okay, on to the question.
If the argument were only the last sentence and we make a tiny tweak to answer choice C:
Argument: "Even the most adept forgers cannot duplicate all of the characteristics the program analyzes."
Answer choice C: "Nobody can gain access to a computer equipped with the
Sounds pretty good!
As for answer choice E, if the program is REALLY good at accomplishing its goal, this won't be the case. If you happened to have one of the first laptops that had fingerprint recognition decades ago, you know that they were finicky and it could be a challenge to get into your own machine. Nowadays, the phones that have fingerprint recognition are really good at it. As Andrew noted, E could be true but we can't conclude that it is.

(B) Computers equipped with the software will soon be installed in most banks
New information cannot be a conclusion. Nowhere in the passage do they say that banks are going to install this software.
What if it is too expensive? What if it takes too much and hence becomes impractical for banking purposes? What if it is not compatible with the current banking softwares? Just because it is good in one aspect, we cannot say that the banks will install it. Even if it were the best in every aspect, we still cannot say whether a bank will install it. We cannot conclude what the banks will do in the future.
