Solution
The correct option is A Infiltrator Option A: 'Infiltrator' is 'a person who secretly enters an organisation or country in order to seek information from it'.
It means the same as the given phrase and can hence substitute for it. So, option A is correct.
Option B: 'Sniper' is 'a trained person who shoots from a hiding place'.
Option C: 'Invader' is 'a person or group that invades a region or country'. 'Invade' is 'to conquer or occupy a place'.
Option D: 'Aggressor' is 'a person or country that attacks another first'.
These words do not mean the same as the given phrase. Hence options B, C and D are wrong.
