Ans D. Virus Source: Palo Alto Cybersecurity Survival Guide "Viruses: Malware that is self-replicating but must first infect a host program and be executed by a user or process Worms: Malware that typically targets a computer network by replicating itself to spread rapidly. Unlike viruses, worms do not need to infect other programs and do not need to be executed by a user or process."
