Haha, I bet the exam writers are trying to trip us up with these specific definitions. Gotta love how they like to get technical with the terminology. Anyways, I agree with the other candidates - A) and D) are the way to go here.

I'm not sure about B) - I don't think the primary vector for exploits is just .exe files. Exploits can target vulnerabilities in all kinds of software, not just executables. And C) seems too narrow - malware can be more than just application data files.

I agree with Melina. A) is definitely true - exploits aim to take advantage of vulnerabilities in code. And D) is also correct - malware consists of malicious executable files, not just application data files.
