PenTest+ Practice Tests Book B. - An advanced persistent threat (APT) is a computer network attack in which a person or group gains unauthorized access to a network and remains undetected for an extended period of time. APTs provide the highest level of threat on the adversary tier list. Threat actors are often rated by their capabilities. Many of the techniques used by advanced persistent threat actors are useful for penetration testers, and vice versa. If your persistence techniques aren’t monitored for or detected by the client’s systems, the findings should include information that can help them design around this potential problem.

agree with mr_robot, if you are still unsure between APT or insider threat, the keyword to look for in the question is "remote"
