EC-Council is a non-profit Organization.

The statement "EC-Council is a non-profit Organization" is false. The International Council of E-Commerce Consultants, known as EC-Council, is a private, for-profit, member-supported professional organization. It is a business that provides information security certifications, education, and training services to professionals and corporations worldwide. Its structure is that of a commercial enterprise, not a non-profit or charitable organization. Therefore, if the options were A) True and B) False, the correct answer would be B.

This question is a binary true/false statement. As the statement is factually incorrect, the only other option (e.g., "True") would be wrong.
