Read the excerpt from The Code Book.

Other attacks include the use of viruses and Trojan horses. Eve might design a virus that infects PGP software and sits quietly inside Alice's computer. When Alice uses her private key to decrypt a message, the virus would wake up and make a note of it. The next time that Alice connects to the Internet, the virus would surreptitiously send the private key to Eve, thereby allowing her to decipher all subsequent messages sent to Alice.

One way to better connect with this excerpt is to

tell about an experience with a computer virus.
define the specific details of a PGP virus.
research decryption viruses on the Internet.
contrast viruses with Trojan horse attacks.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question, a way to better associate with this excerpt is to 'tell about an experience with a computer virus' as it would help the audience to relate to it and understand it effectively. The speaker's personal experience with the virus would not only enhance the clarity of the message regarding the impact of viruses on systems and the private data of users that author wishes to convey to the audience but also help promote its effective understanding that would help elicit intended response. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
