Answer»

Right answer is (a) active

The best I can explain: Using spyware is an EXAMPLE of an active information gathering technique. Spywares can be used to STEAL browsing HISTORY, browsing habits and other related searches from the attacker’s browser. Google CHROME itself has a search BOX in the address bar which the spyware might monitor to take search results as information for the attacker.
