ACyber vandalism
BCyber piracy
CCyber stalking ✓ Correct
DCyber trespass
Correct answer: (C) Cyber stalking
Explanation

A cyber-exacerbated crime is a traditional offence whose harm is magnified by digital means rather than created by them.

Cyber stalking, the repeated online harassment, monitoring and threatening of a victim, is exactly such an intensified traditional crime.

Cyber vandalism is the defacing or damaging of websites and digital property, a crime that depends on computers.

Cyber piracy is the illegal copying and distribution of protected software, music or films.

Cyber trespass is gaining entry to a computer system or network without authorisation.

Stalking existed long before the internet, but online tools let an offender track and intimidate a victim continuously, which is what exacerbates it.
