Solution

The correct answer is d) Both B and C. Both DoS attack and Phishing are considered in the category of computer threats.

Here's why:

b) DoS attack: A Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack is a cyber-attack in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to the Internet.

c) Phishing: Phishing is a type of social engineering attack often used to steal user data, including login credentials and credit card numbers. It occurs when an attacker, masquerading as a trusted entity, dupes a victim into opening an email, instant message, or text message.

So, both of these are considered computer threats.
