Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
Computer-security vocabulary separates an attack method, an observation activity, a hacker profile, and a malware disguise. The correct match comes from identifying what kind of thing each term denotes.
Eavesdropping is unauthorised real-time interception of communications; snooping is the secret capture or inspection of information; a grey-hat hacker may breach a system without malicious intent, sometimes for curiosity or challenge; and a Trojan is malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
Application
Eavesdropping maps to IV: unauthorised real-time interception.
Snooping maps to III: secret capture.
Grey-hat hacker maps to II: hacking for curiosity or fun.
Trojan maps to I: software that appears legitimate.
Cross-check and contrast
A–I, B–II, C–III, D–IV assigns software appearance to eavesdropping and interception to Trojan, so it crosses the action and software categories.
A–II, B–III, C–IV, D–I gives the hacker profile an interception description instead of a person-specific behaviour.
A–IV, B–II, C–I, D–III assigns hacking behaviour to snooping and software appearance to a hacker profile.
Therefore, the complete mapping is A–IV, B–III, C–II, D–I.
