Based on the fact that the hacker's actions are done before the application reading of the lives purchased, this is <u>d. Race condition. </u>

<h3>What is a race condition?</h3>

This is when certain processes in an application depend on the timing of a a previous process or event. The flow of information can then be intercepted before the process completes.

This is what the hacker did here by accessing the application to change the number of lives purchased before the application read the number of lives purchased.

In conclusion, option D is correct.
