What is a difference between software bugs and path traversal?
The correct answer is C. Software bugs cause false or unpredictable results, and path traversal allows access to files. Software bugs result in false or unpredictable behavior, whereas path traversal is a specific vulnerability that allows access to files outside the intended directory (beyond the root folder).
