Selected Answer: C
Based on the information provided, the most likely cause of the issue is a modified file. The fact that the hash value has changed from the expected value suggests that the file has been modified in some way. This could be due to a number of factors, such as a virus or malware infecting the file, or the file being intercepted and modified during transmission.
