Selected Answer: D
Organized crime is the correct answer because ransomware-as-a-service operations are primarily conducted by criminal organizations seeking to monetize cyberattacks. These groups offer ransomware tools and services to other criminals, reflecting the profit-driven, organized nature of these cybercrime enterprises.
