C) It involves sending fraudulent e-mails that seem to come from legitimate sources.

Explanation:

It seems like criminals are always one step ahead of law enforcement, and phishing and other internet scams are just an example. Phishing is a scam technique were people receive emails from supposedly legit sources, but they aren't. They offer different things, from great sales promotions to huge financial opportunities (like the Nigerian inheritance scam of a few years ago).

Their intention is that you basically open the email or hit a link, and then the scammers will try to steal your personal information (identity theft) in order to empty your bank accounts or purchase goods or services and charge them to you.

It is called phishing because hackers actually pretend to fish a few victims out of an ocean of users. Emails acts as the bait and hackers will wait for someone to bite it.
