Selected Answer: B
A watering-hole attack is a type of cyber attack where the attacker compromises a website that is frequently visited by the target victims. The attacker exploits vulnerabilities in the website's code or infrastructure to inject malware into the site. When the target victims visit the compromised website, their systems can become infected with the malware, allowing the attacker to gain unauthorized access or steal sensitive information.
