C Correct answer
Explanation

Repudiation threats involve a user denying legitimate actions they performed. Non-repudiation mechanisms like digital signatures and audit logs provide evidence of transactions. Spoofing (A) is impersonation, tampering (B) is unauthorized modification, and DoS (D) disrupts availability. The scenario describes a classic repudiation risk where a user falsely denies executing a transaction.
