Choose the most appropriate answer from the questions given below:

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) A, B, C only. Globalization has had a profound impact on the nature and operations of terrorist activities worldwide. The statements A, B, and C accurately reflect this impact:
• A. Globalization facilitates the exchange of ideas and goods across borders, which terrorist groups have exploited to spread their ideologies, obtain materials, and carry out operations.
• B. The internet, a byproduct of globalization, has become a crucial tool for terrorists to recruit new members, spread propaganda, and coordinate activities without geographical constraints.
• C. Advancements in technology have allowed terrorists to operate in highly distributed networks, enhancing their ability to communicate securely, plan operations, and execute attacks with increased efficiency and lower risk of detection.
D is incorrect because insurgent and terrorist groups in regions like Iraq and Syria have indeed demonstrated the ability to construct sophisticated improvised explosive devices (IEDs), among other weapons, leveraging global access to information, technology, and resources. This contradicts the statement that they have not built sophisticated IEDs despite global access, showing that globalization has in fact facilitated such capabilities.
