What does terrorism target?

  1. Military installations

  2. Government buildings

  3. Random civilians

  4. Specific individuals

The correct answer is: Random civilians

Terrorism is when a group or individual uses violence or fear to achieve a specific political, religious, or ideological goal. Targeting random civilians is a common tactic used by terrorists to spread fear and create chaos. Option A is incorrect because while some terrorist groups may target military installations, it is not the main target of terrorism. Option B is also incorrect because while some government buildings may be targeted, terrorism is not limited to just government targets. Option D is incorrect because while specific individuals may be targeted for political or symbolic reasons, terrorism typically involves targeting civilians and causing widespread fear and harm.
