    Answer: A. It does not use violence to instill fear.

    Explanation:

    Terrorism refers to the use of deliberate violence to produce terror or fear in people, in order to reach a religious or political goal.

    Occupy Wall Street (OWS) was a left-wing protest movement that did not use any violence, despite having been treated by the FBI as a potential terrorist menace, using fusion centers and counterterrorism representatives to observe the Occupy movement.
