Best answer
Right choice is (b) Ransomware

For explanation I would say: Ransomware is special types of malware that will infect your system, compromise all data by encrypting them and will pop up asking you for a ransom which will be in the form of Bitcoins (so that the attacker do not get tracked) and once the ransom is paid, it will release all files.
