C Correct answer
Explanation

Malicious file execution allows attackers to upload and execute arbitrary code on the server, leading to complete server takeover. This enables site defacement, data theft, using the server to attack others, and full control of the application. Impact is far more severe than compromising individual user accounts or sessions - it's total server compromise.
