C Correct answer
Explanation

Persistent (or Stored) Cross-Site Scripting occurs when malicious input, such as a malicious link or script, is stored on the target server and then executed when other users view the compromised page. Since the link is saved and affects other users who click it, it is persistent rather than reflected.
