Answer:

C. digital sandbox.

Step-by-step explanation:

A honeypot is a security mechanism that creates a virtual trap to lure attackers. An intentionally compromised computer system allows attackers to exploit vulnerabilities so you can study them to improve your security policies. You can apply a honeypot to any computing resource from software and networks to file servers and routers.
