Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "Worms".

Step-by-step explanation:

Worms represent malicious programs that repeatedly render variations of themselves on a shared drive, networking shares respectively. The worm's aim is to replicate itself over and over again.

  • It doesn't function like a piece of malware but uses bandwidth, CPU, as well as storage assets that slow the machine down.
  • It requires a lot of additional storage throughout the drive because of its duplication nature or requires further CPU uses which would in effect make the device too sluggish and thus requires more bandwidth utilization.
