Answer: B. Bloatware

Step-by-step explanation:

Technically, bloatware is not classified as malware, although some people argue it should be. Bloatware is not meant to be malicious software of any sort, but it could just be something that a system integrator (Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc.) includes in their hardware, or it could be extra software bundled with a main piece of software you want that has to be removed after installing the main application. Also, Microsoft started downloading games such as CandyCrush to your computer without your say-so, and that is another example of bloatware. Basically, bloatware is just a term for unwanted preinstalled software.
