Consider an epidemic spreading on a large scale-free network whose degree distribution follows
$$P(k) \sim k^{-\gamma}$$
with \(2 < \gamma < 3\). According to Network Epidemics theory field, which of the following statements is correct?
A) The epidemic spreads more slowly than in a random network because hubs act as bottlenecks.
B) In the SIS model, the epidemic threshold \(\lambda_c\) tends to zero as the network size becomes very large (\(N \to \infty\)).
C) The characteristic spreading time increases with the second moment \(\langle k^2 \rangle\).
D) The early-time behavior of the SI model is linear in time rather than exponential.
E) None of the above.
