Why can hiding a file extension increase security risk?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A harmful file may appear like a safe document

The governing security concept is identifying a file by its complete name and extension. An extension such as .exe, .bat, or another executable type can reveal how a file may behave. If extensions are hidden, a harmful file can be made to look like an ordinary document, increasing the chance of unsafe opening. Option C is correct. Hiding an extension does not increase file size, move the folder, or slow the monitor.
