I agree with Nenita. This is a straightforward question testing our understanding of the key terms. B and C are a bit too specific and not entirely accurate.

A and D seem to be the correct answers here. Exploits definitely take advantage of vulnerabilities, and malware can consist of both executable files and malicious code hidden in data files.
