Correct Answer: Spawn


Solution : The correct answer is Spawn.

Spawning is the process by which a program makes a duplicate of itself. The new process may now operate independently of the previous process. Worms use spawning to multiply and spread to other computers. When a worm infects a computer, it usually creates several copies of itself. These newly created copies will then infect additional machines on the same network or the internet.
