Correct answer: C

Correct answer: Automated scripted attack

CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. It asks a challenge that is easy for humans but difficult for automated programs.

Its main purpose is to block bots and scripted submissions, such as automated spam, fake account creation, or credential-stuffing attempts.

Therefore, CAPTCHA protects against automated scripted attacks.
