Correct Answer: B

When a host is infected by worms that propagate through a vulnerable service, one of the primary signs is established connection attempts targeted at the vulnerable services. Worms usually spread by exploiting vulnerabilities, and these attempts are a clear indication of their presence. Decrease in network usage is incorrect as worms typically increase network activity. System instability or crashes can be a sign, but alone it is not specific to worms. Therefore, the most direct sign is the targeted connection attempts.
