Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

Downloadersare a specific type of malware whose primary purpose is to download and install other malicious software onto a victim's machine. Unlike standalone threats, downloaders typically establish initial access and then retrieve payloads like ransomware, trojans, or spyware from a command and control server.
Their role in the malware chain is fundamental for multi-stage attacks.
