Let Eve obtain $u,v\in \{\pm 1\}$. Applying part (b) to her axes gives $p(u,v)=[1-uv{\mathbf{n}}_a\cdot {\mathbf{n}}_b]/4$. Conditional on these rank-one local measurements, the forwarded particles are a product state with individual spin directions $u{\mathbf{n}}_a$ and $v{\mathbf{n}}_b$. HenceConditional independence gives the product of these means. Averaging over Eve's outcomes,The sum is $-{\mathbf{n}}_a\cdot {\mathbf{n}}_b$, soEve has turned the entangled source into an ensemble of product states by an intercept-resend attack. Ignoring her records does not restore the original singlet coherence.

Use Alice's CHSH axes $\hat{x},\hat{y}$ and Bob's $(\hat{x}+\hat{y})/\sqrt{2},(-\hat{x}+\hat{y})/\sqrt{2}$, with sign pattern $S=C_{11}-C_{13}+C_{31}+C_{33}$. If Eve measures both singlet particles along planar angles $\alpha ,\beta$, the intercept-resend attack correlation gives $S=-\sqrt{2}{\cos }^2(\alpha -\beta )$. Consequently $-\sqrt{2}\le S\le 0$. Randomly mixing axes independently of the users' secret settings preserves this interval by averaging. The bound is specific to these settings and this attack, rather than a general security theorem.
