Explanation / Answer

By using a combination of authentications, it is more difficult to gain access by pretending to be an authorized user.

Multi factor authentication puts in front multiple authentication factors which together gives a authentic user and hence gives more security as its easy to break just one factor of authentication but difficult to cross multiple layers and factors.For eg two factor authentication where ATM transaction can be carried out only when both card number and pin are correct and if combination is not wrong authentication fails.
