A
Non Resident Virus
💡 Explanation:
Non-resident viruses operate in two distinct phases: a finder module searches for files to infect, and a replication module handles the actual infection. Unlike resident viruses that stay in memory, non-resident viruses don't remain active after infection. Trojans and worms are fundamentally different - Trojans disguise themselves as legitimate software, while worms spread independently without needing a host file.
