Answer
A
copying another user’s password without permission
B
hacking software to test and improve its efficiency

Explanation

Testing software to find problems and improve its efficiency can be ethical when it is done with permission. Copying someone’s password, using a limited-access public computer for movies, and deleting other users’ files violate privacy or responsible use. Therefore, the best choice is “hacking software to test and improve its efficiency.”
