Terrorism is characterized as behaviors that constitute life-threatening actions that violate the criminal laws of the country or of any state, which is meant to intimidate or cajole a local population, impact an administration's policy through intimidation, or influence a country’s affairs through massive destruction, murder, or abduction.
The term domestic terrorism refers to terrorist acts occurring within the country or its territories.
Hence, option (a) is incorrect.
Intranational terrorism refers to terrorist acts occurring within a single nation.
Hence, option (b) is incorrect.
Quasi-political terrorism refers to acts of terrorism committed by people with no inherent desire for political or religious reform, but with a deep intention to instill fear among members of another group.
Hence, option (c) is incorrect.
State-sponsored terrorism refers to terrorist acts perpetrated by a government.
Hence, option (e) is incorrect.
International terrorism is the form of terrorism targeting civilians or the territories of more than one government. International terrorism consists of actions that take place outside the borders of the United States. Hence, the term international terrorism adequately characterizes acts of terrorism committed outside the country.
Therefore, the correct answer is option.
