Answer:

The correct answer is B. CFAA

Step-by-step explanation:

Enacted in 1986 and amended several times, The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) is the first federal computer fraud law, to address hacking, and to cover a broad range of malicious conduct. The CFAA prohibits intentionally accessing a computer without authorization or in excess of authorization, prosecute illegal intruders, and it has been cited by private companies seeking to safeguard trade secrets and other proprietary information.
