Explanation
The National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC), housed within the FBI, was the primary U.S. federal body responsible for coordinating computer crime investigations, sharing threat intelligence, and protecting critical infrastructure across the country. The Internet Fraud Complaint Center (A), now IC3, handles fraud complaints but does not coordinate investigations nationwide. The U.S. Secret Service (B) has jurisdiction over financial crimes and cybercrime but does not serve as the national coordinator. CERT/CC (D) is a Carnegie Mellon research center that tracks vulnerabilities but has no law enforcement authority.
