A,B,C Correct answer
Explanation

Security threats can affect ANY application type. HTTPS websites (Option A) are still vulnerable to application-level attacks like XSS or injection - HTTPS only encrypts transport. HTTP websites (Option B) are even more vulnerable. Windows/desktop applications (Option C) have their own vulnerabilities (buffer overflows, etc.). Option D is incorrect because it's not just 'http' and Windows apps - all application types face security threats. Protocol doesn't eliminate application-level vulnerabilities.
