Explanation

In software and digital media, an Easter egg is a hidden feature, message, or game intentionally placed by developers for users to discover. These are typically activated through secret combinations or actions and are meant as entertainment rather than piracy. Options A and B refer to the literal holiday tradition involving decorated eggs, while option C describes software cracks used for piracy, an illegal activity completely different from the benign hidden features that constitute Easter eggs.
