Explanation

Correct Answer: B. It copies the files and folders from a USB flash drive to a folder on the computer without the user’s knowledge or permission. Explanation: USB dumper is a software that can copy the files and folders from a USB flash drive without the user’s knowledge or permission. For example, if someone plugs in a USB flash drive that contains some photos and documents into your computer, a USB dumper can automatically copy those files to a folder on your computer, such as C:\usbCopy2. This can be useful for backup purposes, but also for malicious purposes, such as stealing personal or confidential information from someone else’s USB flash drive.
