I practiced a question similar to this, and I think static analysis fits best because it’s all about examining the file itself.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about dynamic analysis involving running the file. This seems more like just checking its properties.

I think I've got it figured out. The key is that the investigator is using VirusTotal, which is a static analysis tool. So the type of malware analysis performed here is static, option A.

Okay, I've got this. The question states that the investigator is looking to confirm if the file is malicious, get information about its functionality, and produce network signatures. That sounds like they're performing dynamic analysis, so I'll go with option C.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions gathering a suspicious file and using VirusTotal, but I'm not sure if that's enough to determine the type of analysis. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm a little confused here. The question mentions both static and dynamic aspects, so I'm not sure if the answer is that straightforward. Maybe it's a hybrid approach? I'll have to weigh the options carefully before selecting my answer.

You know, I heard that some malware these days can even detect when it's being analyzed. Better keep an eye out for that! But yeah, this is dynamic analysis for sure.

Static analysis? Nah, that's just looking at the file without running it. This is clearly dynamic analysis in action.
