Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
OBJ. 3.5 - A sensor attack targets the embedded system by manipulating sensors to make the device think an input was received or an action was completed. These attacks are particularly dangerous in embedded systems where sensors play a critical role. User interface attacks target front-end systems, output attacks focus on data exfiltration, and processor attacks exploit the CPU, but sensor attacks are most directly linked to this scenario.
