Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

Viruses often spread through infected software, especially borrowed or pirated copies that may carry malicious code.

Other options:

(A) Viewing a website without causing any additional transactions: Generally safe; simply viewing a website usually doesn't infect a computer unless there are vulnerabilities exploited.
(B) Running antivirus programs: This helps prevent infections, not cause them.
(D) Opening an application previously installed: If the application is safe and clean, it won't infect the system; however, if already infected, it could spread the virus — but the question focuses on entry methods.

So, the best answer is: Borrowed copies of software.
