In the future, terrorists will likely use all of the following tactics, except:

• A. Electromagnetic pulse (EMP).
• B. High-energy radio frequency (HERF).
• C. Malicious software and broad virus attacks.
• D. Attacking personal computers to instill fear.

Answer: (D)

The idea is that future terrorist tactics are likely to focus on widespread disruption of critical systems and networks rather than just frightening individuals one computer at a time. Electromagnetic pulse could knock out power infrastructure, high-energy RF could disable or damage electronic systems, and malicious software campaigns can spread quickly across organizations to cause outages, data loss, or service disruption. Attacking personal computers to instill fear tends to produce localized, limited impact and doesn’t scale to affect essential infrastructure in a broad way, making it the unlikely option among these tactics.
