CUET PG 2026 Agri-Business Management Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
Ransom
Identifying the Odd One Out: Security Software
The question asks to identify the term that does not belong with the others in the list. We need to analyze the category each option falls into.
Analyzing the Options
- Avast: This is a brand of antivirus software, designed for computer security.
- Quick Heal: This is also a well-known brand of antivirus and internet security software.
- Ransom: This term typically refers to Ransomware, a type of malicious software (malware) that encrypts files and demands payment for their decryption. It is a threat, not a protective software.
- MacAfee: This is another major brand of antivirus and cybersecurity software.
Determining the Odd One Out
Options 1, 2, and 4 (Avast, Quick Heal, MacAfee) are all established brands of antivirus software.
Option 3 (Ransom) refers to ransomware, which is a type of cyber threat that antivirus software aims to protect against.
Therefore, 'Ransom' is the odd one out because it represents a threat, while the others represent security solutions.
