Answer: D
Inserting spurious data into a system is called Fabrication.
Security texts classify attacks on information in transit into four kinds. Fabrication is the insertion of counterfeit objects, such as fake messages or records, into a system; it attacks authenticity, and flooding a system with them can disrupt or overload it.
Interruption makes an asset unavailable (an attack on availability). Interception is unauthorised access to data, such as eavesdropping (confidentiality). Modification is tampering with existing data (integrity). Only fabrication creates new, false data.
