Selected Answer: B

Answer: B. Metamorphic Explanation: (A) ❌ Polymorphic - Alters its signature but retains portions of the original code. (B) ✅ Metamorphic - Completely rewrites itself with each generation while maintaining functionality. (C) ❌ Oligomorphic - Has a limited set of pre-defined decryptors but does not fully rewrite itself. (D) ❌ Transmorphic - Not a standard virus classification in cybersecurity terminology. ----- If you agree, please UPVOTE.
