D. a ransomware attack causes users to constantly reboot their computers thereby wasting organizational resources

Answer 1

B. a ransomware attack is designed to render organizational assets unusable until the ransom demands are met

Ransomware encrypts files on the organization's network, making them inaccessible to users. This can result in disruption of operations, loss of critical data, and potential financial losses if the organization is unable to recover the encrypted files without paying the ransom. Additionally, the time and resources required to remediate the attack can also impact organizational assets.
