Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is incorrect as Worm is a form of malware

Option B is incorrect because antivirus can remove all forms of malware

Option C is correct because a worm is more problematic as compared to the virus. Also, viruses are weaker than worm because they need a host file to run but a worm can work independently.

Option D is also incorrect because both are able to self replicate.
