Hmm, I'm torn between A and D. Exploits are all about finding those juicy vulnerabilities, but malware can also be standalone executables. Better not try to open any suspicious .exe files, that's for sure!

I believe D is also true. Malware can be executable files without exploits.

This is a tricky one! I'm going to go with A and C. Exploits leverage vulnerabilities, and malware can definitely be in the form of malicious data files. Gotta watch out for those sneaky .exe files too!

A and D seem to be the correct statements. Exploits take advantage of vulnerabilities, and malware can also be in the form of executable files without relying on exploits. I'm pretty sure about that.
