The correct answer is G. Attack.
An “attack” is defined as an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in a system to compromise its security, typically with malicious intent. It is an active effort to breach defenses, unlike a “threat” which refers to the potential for an attack to occur. If you have more questions about cybersecurity concepts, feel free to ask!
