Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. adware
- Once "adware" has infected a substantial number of computer systems, it generates revenue either by displaying advertisements or using a "pay-per-click" mechanism to charge its clients based on the number of clicks on their displayed ads.
- Adware is a type of software that displays unwanted advertisements to users, often without their consent, and it is used by advertisers to promote products or generate revenue through ad clicks.
- While adware can be annoying and intrusive, it is typically not as malicious as other forms of malware, as its primary goal is to deliver advertisements rather than harm the computer or steal personal information
