Why is D not correct? Does a trojan always have to come from a disgruntled employee??

B is the answer because the question is asking for the easiest method.
B would be the easiest because an employee would be a very reliable trusted person, therefore making infection much easier and likely by colleagues clicking the infected file/trojan.
