I’m a bit confused between B) botnet and D) command and control. They both seem related to how attacks are coordinated.

I feel like I’ve seen a similar question before, and I think it was about botnets too. So I’m leaning towards B) botnet as well.

I think the answer might be B) botnet, but I’m not completely sure. I remember studying something about networks being used for attacks.
