Ha! I bet the correct answer is 'all of the above.' These tech questions are like a never-ending game of 'Spot the Difference' between computer threats. I need a coffee break after this one.

C'mon, this is a trick question. They're both annoying little buggers that wreak havoc on our computers. Who cares about the technical differences, as long as we have good antivirus software, right?

I think the answer is B. A worm can replicate by itself, whereas a virus requires user action to replicate. It's a pretty straightforward distinction.
