Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A Trojan horse is a type of malicious code or software that looks legitimate but can take control of your computer. It is often used by a programmer or attacker to gain unauthorized access to a system. Unlike viruses and worms, Trojan horses do not replicate themselves but can be just as destructive.
