Answer
A
It is the practice of cutting network cables to damage a network infrastructure.
B
It is the practice of finding weaknesses in a computer or computer network.

It is sometimes practiced by network security professionals.

Explanation

Hacking involves finding weaknesses in computers or networks, so statement B is true. Security professionals may use hacking techniques to test systems and help protect them, making D true as well. Hacking is not the same as physically cutting network cables, and it is not always illegal; legality depends on permission and how the techniques are used.
