    A.
    ■ Armored: This protects itself from antivirus programs by tricking the program
    into thinking that it is located in a different place from where it actually resides.
    Essentially, it has a layer of protection that it can use against the person who
    tries to analyze it; it will thwart attempts by analysts to examine its code.

    In computing, a Trojan horse, or Trojan, is any malicious computer program which misleads users of its true intent. It is trying to disguise its true nature and intent prior to installation. Once installed it cannot really “circumvent malware detection by trying to hide its true location”

    As mentioned by Paul, an “the Armored Virus attempts to trick the antivirus program into believing its location is somewhere other than where it really is on the system.”

    So the correct answer is most definitely “A- Armored virus”
