B, definition. Easy peasy. Although, I do wonder if the exam writer is trying to trick us with those other options. 'Hotfixes'? What is this, Windows Update?

You know, I'm tempted to go with D just to see the look on the examiner's face. 'Permissions? What kind of crazy person are you?' Haha, just kidding. It's B, of course.

Definitely B, definition. Anyone who thinks it's anything else is living in the Stone Age. Antivirus programs are all about those virus definitions, baby!

Yeah, without regular updates, the antivirus program would be useless against new threats.

That's true, definitions are like the 'brains' of the anti-virus program, so it's crucial to keep them updated.

Hotfixes and service packs are important too, but definitions specifically help identify and remove viruses.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards B as well. But what if they update the permissions to keep my system secure? Nah, that's probably not it.
