Solution
The true statement about the propagation of worms is: "Worms can propagate without user intervention".
Worms are a type of malware that can replicate and spread themselves, typically without any user action required. They usually exploit vulnerabilities in operating systems or software applications to propagate.
While it's true that worms can come from emails from unknown senders, they don't require the user to open an attachment to propagate. They can spread just by being on the system.
Saving the email and copying it on another machine does not necessarily infect the other machine unless the worm is designed to infect files and those infected files are transferred.
Lastly, worms don't require to be copied by the user to propagate. They can do this on their own by exploiting system vulnerabilities.
