Selected Answer: C
By examining the text file containing the modified registry keys, you can observe that the malware named Payload.exe has created an entry under the Run registry key named CjNWWyUJ, whose value is C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Temp\xKNkeLQI.vbs. This means the vbscript xKNkeLQI.vbs is in C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Temp\ and runs on startup, thereby trying to create a persistent connection with the machine where the malware is created.
