I thought malware could spread without user action, but D seems right.

Definitely D, the user has to open it for it to work.

Buffer overflows seem specific to certain types of malware, so I don't think option C is correct. It’s probably about user action instead.

I feel like I've seen practice questions where the focus was on user actions, so maybe option D is the right choice, but I could be wrong.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about command-and-control servers being important for some types of malware, which might relate to option B.

I think option D makes the most sense since malware usually requires user interaction to activate, right?

I'm not totally confident, but I think option B is the right answer. Malware often needs to communicate with a command-and-control server to do damage.

This looks like a straightforward question about malware. I'll carefully read through the options and think about what I know about how malware typically operates.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know malware can work in different ways, so I'll have to think through the details of each option carefully.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. The options seem to cover a range of DNS-related features, but I'm not familiar enough with DANE to confidently choose the right one.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the different connection options here. I'll need to think through the domain setup and the WLST commands to figure out the right way to access the server04 JVM runtime information.

Option B seems reasonable, but I think Yaeko has it right. The malware is just waiting for the user to give it a free pass.
