In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Analysis of Assertion (A)
Assertion (A) states that a virus is malicious software designed to harm computer systems and resources. This is a standard and accurate definition of a computer virus.
- Viruses are indeed software code.
- Their purpose is malicious (harmful).
- They aim to interfere with computer operations or steal information.
Therefore, Assertion (A) is correct.
Analysis of Reason (R)
Reason (R) lists specific examples: Crypto Locker, ILOVEYOU, My Doom, and Slammer. These are all well-documented examples of computer viruses or malware that have caused significant impact.
- Crypto Locker: A type of ransomware.
- ILOVEYOU: A worm that spread rapidly via email.
- My Doom: One of the fastest-spreading email worms.
- Slammer: A famous internet worm known for its rapid spread.
Therefore, Reason (R) is also correct as it lists valid examples of viruses/malware.
Relationship between Assertion (A) and Reason (R)
Assertion (A) provides a definition of a computer virus. Reason (R) provides examples of specific viruses. While the examples in (R) are correct instances of viruses, they do not serve as an explanation for the *definition* provided in (A). The examples illustrate the concept defined in (A), but they don't explain *why* or *how* a virus fits the definition given. Therefore, (R) is correct but not the *correct explanation* of (A).
Conclusion
Based on the analysis:
- Assertion (A) is correct.
- Reason (R) is correct.
- Reason (R) is NOT the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
This corresponds to the option stating that both are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.
