Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is D. Threat.

Explanation:

In computer security, a threat is defined as a possible danger through which vulnerability can be exploited to infringe security and in this way, provoke possible harm. A threat could be "intentional" or "accidental". It could be provoked by an event, a specific action, or any kind of circumstance.

A threat can exploit some vulnerabilities related to a resource. This can provoke many problems concerning some properties that belong to the resources. They include confidentiality, integrity or availability and it can also affect other involved parties. For example customers and suppliers.
