Answer:

C. Spoofing.

Explanation:

Cyber security can be defined as preventive practice of protecting computers, software programs, electronic devices, networks, servers and data from potential theft, attack, damage, or unauthorized access by using a body of technology, frameworks, processes and network engineers.

Some examples of cyber attacks are phishing, zero-day exploits, denial of service, man in the middle, cryptojacking, malware, SQL injection, spoofing etc.

Spoofing can be defined as a type of cyber attack which typically involves the deceptive creation of packets from an unknown or false source (IP address), as though it is from a known and trusted source. Thus, spoofing is mainly used for the impersonation of computer systems on a network.

Basically, the computer of an attacker or a hacker assumes false internet address during a spoofing attack so as to gain an unauthorized access to a network.
