Explanation

Integrity as a security concept refers to the unauthorized modification or corruption of data and systems. Ransomware, delivered via a phishing attack (D), encrypts and corrupts data without authorization - a direct integrity violation at the technical level. Option A (data breach) represents a confidentiality impact. Option C (DDoS attack) represents an availability impact. Option B (altering a discount percentage) is also an integrity action, but in exam context option D is selected because the ransomware payload specifically corrupts and renders data unusable, making data integrity the primary technical impact of the attack chain initiated by the phishing click.
