Explanation

Terrorism involves using or threatening violence to intimidate people or advance a political cause. Kidnapping human rights workers to instill fear (A), a suicide bombing as political protest (B), an assassination attempt for political gain (E), and a resort bombing intended to intimidate and draw attention to a cause (F) fit this idea. Economic sanctions (C) are nonviolent, and a country’s attack over a border dispute (D) is generally an act of war rather than terrorism.
