Terrorism may involve

• A. Violence
• B. Threats designed to intimidate or coerce
• C. An individual
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Terrorism centers on using fear to influence governments or societies for political, ideological, or social aims. That can show up in multiple ways: through actual violence, which is the most direct method to coerce or intimidate; through threats designed to intimidate or coerce, which can achieve influence even without a physical attack; and through the involvement of an individual or a group acting to carry out or promote these aims. Because each of these elements can be part of terrorist activity, the option that covers all of them is the best choice.
