Explanation

Endpoint security software is any application that runs on an end-user device to protect it from threats. Anti-malware (B), anti-spyware (C), anti-virus (D), and spam filters (E) all run locally on endpoints and defend against specific categories of threats-malware, spyware, viruses, and unwanted email content respectively. Grayware (A) is not a security tool; it is a category of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs/PUAs) such as adware or joke programs that are not clearly malicious but are undesirable-it is a threat category, not a defense tool.
