A botnet is a network of compromised computers or devices that are infected with malware and controlled remotely by a cybercriminal. They are typically used to carry out illegal activities such as distributed denial of service attacks, spamming, and credential theft. The other options (phishing, logic bomb, and Trojan horse) are types of malware that can be used to create or control a botnet, but they do not define a botnet on their own.
