Haha, option D is the winner! Gotta love those IRC-controlled Bots. They're like the party animals of the malware world.

I think option A is more accurate, Worms are the ones that get instructions from an external control channel.

I'm going with C. Bots are definitely more email-based than Worms. Though I suppose a Worm could still use email as a vector.

I was thinking B was the answer, but now I'm not so sure. Worms can be pretty sneaky, installing themselves without the user knowing.
