Which of the following is a type of malware ?
Answer: A
The malware is the Trojan horse.
A Trojan horse is malicious software disguised as something legitimate, such as a free game or a fake update. Once the user installs it, it carries out hidden actions such as stealing data, opening a backdoor or downloading other malware. Unlike a virus or worm, it does not replicate itself.
Encryption is a protection technique (even though ransomware misuses it). A firewall filters network traffic, and a VPN creates an encrypted tunnel over a public network. All three are security measures, not malware.
