• B. Damage to data and system
• C. Nigerian frauds
• D. Forgery

Hint:

Cybercrimes typically involve activities like fraud, hacking, and data theft conducted through digital means such as computers or the internet.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Cybercrimes typically involve criminal activities that are committed via computers or the internet. In this case, ATM fraud, damage to data and system, and Nigerian frauds are all forms of cybercrimes as they involve online or digital activities to defraud, damage, or steal information.
- ATM fraud involves hacking or fraudulent use of ATM cards and machines.
- Damage to data and system refers to activities such as viruses, hacking, or denial-of-service attacks, which are all considered cybercrimes.
- Nigerian frauds (or 419 scams) involve fraudulent activities that typically occur through emails or online communication and are considered cybercrimes.
However, Forgery is a general crime involving the falsification of documents and signatures, which can occur in both the digital and physical world. While digital forgeries can be considered a cybercrime, the term "Forgery" on its own is not necessarily classified as a cybercrime. Therefore, the correct answer is Forgery.
