Explanation
Phishing is a social engineering attack delivered via email (or other messages) that tricks users into revealing credentials or sensitive information by impersonating a trusted entity. The email creates urgency ('your account will be suspended') and requests a username and password - classic phishing indicators. A worm is self-replicating malware, spyware covertly collects data from a system, and malware is a broad term for malicious software. None of those describe an email credential-harvesting attack.
