I thought Trojans could replicate too?

A worm can spread through networks, but Trojans need user action.

I definitely remember that worms are self-replicating, so I think option A sounds right, but I hope I’m not confusing it with something else!

I feel like a Trojan horse is more about disguising itself as something useful, but I might be mixing it up with other malware types.

I think I came across a practice question that mentioned worms spreading through email, but I can't recall if that's always the case.

I remember studying that worms can replicate themselves, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the main difference.

I've got this! A worm is self-replicating, while a Trojan horse requires user interaction to spread. I'm feeling good about this one.

This is a tricky one. I remember learning about the differences, but I'm drawing a blank right now. I'll try to eliminate the options that I know are wrong, and then make an educated guess.

Okay, let me see. I think the main difference is that a worm can replicate itself, while a Trojan horse relies on the user to install it. But I'm not 100% sure, so I'll have to double-check my notes.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know they're both types of malware, but I can't quite remember the key difference. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read through the requirements and think about how the different components relate to each other.

This seems straightforward. The correct answer is option A - Set Variables, Send Beacon, Clear Variables. I'm confident that's the right choice.

I'm a little confused on this one. Is it the communications and scope management plans? Or the quality and risk plans? I'll have to eliminate the options I'm less sure about and make an educated guess.

I'm pretty confident on this one. Diseconomies of scale refer to the situation where a company's average costs per unit start to rise as it increases production. So the correct answer has to be B.
