I recall that .exe files are common for malware, but I’m not sure if they are the primary vector for exploits. That part is tricky!

I’m a bit confused about D. I thought malware always involved some kind of exploit, but maybe there are exceptions?

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think malware is more about the harmful software itself, so maybe C is correct too.

I think I remember that exploits are about taking advantage of vulnerabilities, so A seems right. But I'm not sure about the second one.
