B Correct answer
Explanation

Cavity viruses infect executable files by inserting their code into unused spaces (cavities) within the file, which means they don't change the file's overall size. This stealth technique helps avoid detection based on file size changes. The other options are either made-up terms or unrelated attacks (XSS Worm is a web vulnerability, not a file virus type).
