Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A debit card is linked directly to a checking account and the purchase amount is deducted from the account immediately after making the purchase. In this case, Sean entered his PIN which confirms that it was a debit card. The other options are not correct as a credit card involves borrowing money and paying it back later with interest, an ATM card is used for withdrawing cash from ATMs, and a point-of-sale card is not a commonly used term.
