Here's a brief explanation of the other options:
A. Click-jacking: A technique used to trick users into clicking on a different button or link than intended.
B. Compromising a legitimate site: Amber is not directly compromising a website, but rather using the ad network to spread malware.

Amber is engaging in:
D. Malvertising
Malvertising involves embedding malware into advertisements that are distributed across various websites through ad networks. When users interact with these ads, they can be exposed to malicious software. This method exploits the ad network to spread malware, even if the websites hosting the ads are otherwise legitimate.
