Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Spyware is software that is used to gather information about a person or organization without their knowledge and sends that information to another entity.
Whenever spyware is used for malicious purposes, its presence is typically hidden from the user and can be difficult to detect. Some spyware, such as keyloggers, may be installed by the owner of a shared, corporate, or public computer intentionally in order to monitor users.
