Which of the following malware types locks a victim's data and demands payment to unlock it ?
Answer: C
The malware is Ransomware.
Ransomware encrypts or locks a victim's files or system and demands payment, often in cryptocurrency, for the key to unlock them, as in the WannaCry attack of 2017.
A Trojan horse disguises itself as useful software, spyware secretly collects information, and a worm spreads itself across networks; none of them is defined by holding data to ransom.
