D) Session hijacking? C'mon, that's just ridiculous. Antiviruses are here to protect, not to attack!

Haha, session hijacking? That's like asking an accountant to rob a bank. Definitely not an antivirus function.

I'm pretty sure antiviruses don't perform session hijacking. That's more like a hacker's job, not a security tool's.
