Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Hacktivism is the practice of using computer-based techniques to promote political or social change. It combines hacking skills with activist motives. Unlike ethical hacking (focused on security) or penetration testing (focused on vulnerability assessment), hacktivism is driven by ideological goals to influence public opinion or policy.
