Answer:

B. Sniffer

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of program that is being discussed is called a Sniffer. This can either be a software or hardware that allows the user to intercept data flowing from a computer to the internet in real-time before it reaches its destination. The program can be very vague and intercept all the data coming and going to the target computer or it can be very specific and intercept only the data in which it was programmed to target (sniff out). Cyber Criminals use these programs/devices to steal valuable information that they know a user is going to send sooner or later over the internet.
