C. Swiss Cheese

Explanation:

Swiss cheese is a dynamic way of virus attack. It is very difficult to discover these attacks due to their mode of deployment.

In the Swiss cheese technique, virus codes insert themselves into the program code. After infection, any updated original code is moved to the virus code for execution. The host is not usually aware of these attacks, because the program will execute as expected.
