Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Linux has a robust security architecture that makes it less vulnerable to malware compared to Windows, so antivirus software is not mandatory. However, it can be optionally used, especially in mixed environments or when sharing files with Windows systems. The option that antivirus doesn't exist for Linux is false, and the extremes of mandatory or completely unnecessary are both incorrect.
