Answer»

Right choice is (B) Ransomware

For explanation I would SAY: Ransomware is special TYPES of malware that will INFECT your system, compromise all data by encrypting them and will pop up asking you for a RANSOM which will be in the form of Bitcoins (so that the attacker do not get tracked) and once the ransom is paid, it will release all files.
