Answer: Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

A hoax is generally referred to as a fabrication deliberately created to dissimulate as truth. A virus hoax on a personal computer can generally be termed as a dialog box warning on the receiver of a non-existent PC virus threat. Hoax viruses are created in order for an individual to take action even if there does not exist any infection or threat.
