The correct option is A Viruses

Viruses are often delivered to a PC through an e-mail attachment and are often designed to do harm.

A computer virus is actually a malicious software program or "malware" that, when infecting your system, replicates itself by modifying other computer programs and inserting its own code. Infected computer programs may include data files, or even the "boot" sector of the hard drive.

A computer virus is a type of malicious software that, when executed, replicates itself by modifying other computer programs and inserting its own code. When this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be "infected" with a computer virus.
