Selected Answer: D
Ransomware encrypts files on a victim's system and displays a message demanding payment to decrypt the files or restore access. It often renames files with specific extensions to indicate encryption. File Extension (.ryk): The presence of a .ryk extension on files is indicative of the Ryuk ransomware, which is known to encrypt files and append this extension to indicate they have been affected. Display Message: Ransomware usually displays a message (ransom note) informing victims of the encryption and providing instructions for paying the ransom. The symptoms described (files with a .ryk extension and a ransom message) strongly suggest a ransomware infection, as this pattern matches known ransomware behaviors, especially related to Ryuk.
