I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like A could be correct too since some exploits do rely on specific applications being present.

I remember discussing how some exploits can activate just by opening or previewing the file, so I think D might be one of the answers.

Hmm, I'm not sure about the malware part. Does that mean the exploit can only do damage if it downloads additional malware? I'll have to think that one through.

I think the key here is whether the exploit can be launched just by previewing the attachment. That seems like the most likely scenario, so I'll go with option D.

I'm a bit confused about the buffer overflow part. Does that mean the exploit has to start with a buffer overflow to be effective?

Okay, let's see. I'm pretty sure the exploit can work without any additional software installed, so I'll rule out option A.

True, it could potentially launch just by previewing the attachment.

I don't think it necessarily needs a buffer overflow to cause damage.

But what if the exploit requires a buffer overflow to work?

I'm going with A and D too. Previewing an attachment is just asking for trouble, especially if it's got an exploit hiding in there. Better safe than sorry, you know?

I agree with Beatriz, it could download malware onto the system.

Ha, this reminds me of that time I accidentally clicked on a virus link and my computer went haywire. Luckily, I think A and D are the right answers here. Gotta be vigilant with those email attachments, folks!

Hmm, I'm not sure about C - I thought buffer overflows were just one way exploits could work, not a requirement. But A and D sound like the right picks to me.

I think the likely effect of opening that attachment is getting malware.

Wow, this is a tricky one! I think the answer is A and D - the exploit can work if the right application is installed, and just previewing the attachment could launch it. Gotta be careful with those sketchy email attachments, am I right?
