Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Conventional warfare: a form of warfare conducted by using conventional weapons and battlefield tactics between two or more states in open confrontation. The forces on each side are well-defined, and fight using weapons that primarily target the opponent's military.

Terrorism: the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
