Question 4 • MC 2026-27 21st Century Computer Literacy 10 Adams Q1

In what way, if any, is pharming different from baiting?

Answer
A
They are essentially the same way of illegally obtaining someone’s personal information against their will.
B
Both gather personal information, but baiting uses face-to-face interaction while pharming uses the Internet.
C
Both gather personal information, but baiting uses the promise of reward while pharming uses fake websites.
D
Pharming is a way that criminals obtain someone’s personal information, while baiting is a type of bullying.

Explanation

Both pharming and baiting can be used to steal personal information, but they work differently. Baiting tempts someone with a promised reward or desirable item, while pharming redirects someone to a fake website that collects their information. Therefore, the correct choice is “Both gather personal information, but baiting uses the promise of reward while pharming uses fake websites.”
