Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct answer: (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
Spyware: can include a keylogger that records keystrokes, so A matches III.
Phishing: uses deceptive emails or links to take users to fake websites, so B matches I.
Ransomware: locks or holds data hostage and demands payment, so C matches IV.
Pharming: redirects users to fraudulent websites, so D matches II.
Therefore, the correct code is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
