I agree that can be C question but, the question was poorly worded, you can't use "offensively and defensively" in this case. It might be better write with "legally and illegally", because the hacker can be ethical or not.

The key phrase here is "Their intention". A white hat's intention is to help the business. A black hat's is to get gain by exploration. A gray hat's is to just learn or mess with the system, no gain necessary.

What about answer A? A white hat can work on a Red team (offensive) and in a Blue team (defensive)

The key things to look at on this one, are the words 'without the owners permission" and "illegal". White hat hackers always operate with the express permission of the system owner and within the bounds of applicable regulations and laws.

https://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/gray-hat Gray hat describes a cracker (or, if you prefer, hacker) who exploits a security weakness in a computer system or product in order to bring the weakness to the attention of the owners. Unlike a black hat, a gray hat acts without malicious intent.
