Explanation:

An attack is an action against an information system or network that attempts to violate the system's security policy. Attacks can be broadly classified as being either active or passive.

1.Active attacks modify the target system or message, i.e. they violate the integrity of the system or message.

2.Passive attacks violate confidentiality without affecting the state of the system. An example of such an attack is the electronic eavesdropping on network transmissions to release message contents or to gather unprotected passwords. Answer options B and D are incorrect. Session hijacking and replay attacks come under the category of active attacks.
