An activity that alters the state of a system is called a _________.

A.
Unauthorized intrusion

B.
State transition

C.
Moving data from a memory segment to the CPU’s registers

D.
Moving data from the CPU’s registers to the correct memory address

Explanation:
State transitions are activities that effectively change the state of a
system. A systems state is a snapshot of it at one moment in time. Any change that
is made to the system affects its state. The other answers are examples of
activities that can change the state of the system, but in the CISSP exam the answer
that is general and encompasses the other answer is usually the correct one.
