This question is a real 'trap' - get it? Traps product? Anyway, I'm going with A and D, exploits and standalone malware executables.

Hmm, I'm not sure about C. I thought malware was more about the intent to do harm, not just the file type. A and D seem like the best options here.

I agree with you, Gene. I also think D is true because malware can be standalone executable files.

A and D are definitely true. Exploits take advantage of vulnerabilities, and malware can be in the form of malicious executables without needing an exploit.
