Answer 1

The correct answer is option (d.) True, True.

Explanation:

• This statement is true that a worm mails a copy of itself to other systems.
• A worm virus is a malicious, self-replicating program that can spread throughout a network without human assistance.
• The worm is often transmitted via file-sharing networks, information-transport features, email attachments or by clicking links to malicious websites.
• This statement is true that a worm executes a copy of itself on another system.
• Worms are a self-replicating type of malware (and a type of virus) that enter networks by exploiting vulnerabilities, moving quickly from one computer to another.
• Because of this, worms can propagate themselves and spread very quickly – not only locally, but have the potential to disrupt systems worldwide.
