Selected Answer: A
The correct answer is A. A vulnerability is a weakness or flaw in a system, software, or network that can be exploited by an attacker to compromise the security or functionality of the system. A vulnerability can be caused by a variety of factors, including coding errors, misconfigurations, or design flaws. An exploit, on the other hand, is a tool or technique used by an attacker to take advantage of a vulnerability and gain unauthorized access or control over the target system. An exploit can be a piece of software, a script, or a command that leverages a vulnerability to execute malicious code or actions on the target system. Therefore, the difference between a vulnerability and an exploit is that a vulnerability is a weakness that can be exploited by an attacker, while an exploit is the means by which an attacker takes advantage of a vulnerability to compromise the system.
