Terrorism includes which type of weapons or devices?

• A. Cyber threats
• B. Financial attacks
• C. Weapons of mass destruction (ex. chemical, biological, nuclear, radiation, explosive devices)
• D. Non-weapon threats

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is that terrorism can involve weapons designed to cause mass harm, categorized as weapons of mass destruction. Weapons of mass destruction include chemical, biological, nuclear, radiological, and explosive devices. These are the kinds of physical weapons or devices that terrorists might employ to achieve large-scale impact.

Cyber threats and financial attacks are serious harms and attack methods, but they aren’t traditional physical weapons or devices. They’re tactics used to coerce, disrupt, or intimidate rather than actual weapons. Non-weapon threats is too vague and doesn’t specify an actual weapon or device. So the option that best fits “types of weapons or devices” terrorists use is weapons of mass destruction.
