The answer is C. Organized crime. Organized crime groups are often well-funded, highly skilled, and capable of carrying out sophisticated cyberattacks, including those targeting critical infrastructure. Governments might collaborate with or hire these groups for cyber espionage, sabotage, or other malicious activities aimed at destabilizing or compromising another nation's critical systems. Hacktivists typically act independently for political or social reasons and are less likely to be directly hired by governments. Whistleblowers expose internal wrongdoings and are not typically involved in attacking external systems. Unskilled attackers (often referred to as "script kiddies") lack the expertise necessary for carrying out complex attacks on critical systems. Thus, organized crime groups are the most likely threat actors in this scenario.
