ANSWER: A. USA Patriot Act.

EXPLANATION: The USA Patriot act is a federal law passed barely a month after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. It provides a definition of the term cyber terrorism under which young people involved in minor computer pranks such as illegally accessing secured computers and causing losses northwards of $5000 could lead to a civil suit which could lead to payment of damages, trying to install computer viruses on secured computers could also lead to 10 years imprisonment etc.

This is to forestall acts of terrorism against the United States.
