Despite territorial losses, ISIS has continued what kind of operations?

• A. Routine, low-profile local operations only.
• B. High-profile operations in various countries.
• C. Solely cyber operations.
• D. No longer conducts operations.

Answer: (B)

Even after losing territory, ISIS maintained a capacity to project power through high-profile operations that span multiple countries. The group adapted into an insurgent network with international reach, continuing to plan or claim violent attacks around the world and often coordinating with regional affiliates. This approach keeps pressure on adversaries, sustains its propaganda and recruitment, and demonstrates that the movement remains active beyond any geographic strongholds. The other options don’t fit because they imply only local, purely cyber, or no activity at all, whereas the continued pattern has included dramatic attacks in various nations.
