• A. Bio-terrorism
• B. Narco-terrorism
• C. State Terrorism
• D. Cyber Terrorism

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is the link between illicit drug trade and financing for violent or terrorist activities. Narco-terrorism describes exactly how profits from drug trafficking are used to fund operations, sustain groups, and procure weapons or resources for acts of terror. It captures the idea that criminal drug networks can fuel terrorist activity, linking illicit crime with political violence.

Bio-terrorism is about using biological agents to cause harm. State terrorism refers to terror carried out or sponsored by a government. Cyber terrorism involves attacks through digital networks to cause disruption or fear. Narco-terrorism is the term that specifically fits the funding mechanism through drug trafficking.
