Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: The text says paperless billing makes tracking charges easier, so this is wrong as it claims the opposite.
• Option 2: The text states paperless billing is convenient for money management, not that it creates new challenges, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: The text doesn't mention it's only for those who pay bills on cell phones, so this is wrong.
• Option 4: The text says paperless billing helps the environment (conserves trees, water, reduces landfill waste) and makes tracking charges easier (customers can access accounts anytime, report unfamiliar charges immediately), so this matches the author's view.

Answer:

Paperless billing makes tracking charges easier and helps the environment.
