Social Engineering

Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

Social engineering is the practice of manipulating or deceiving people into performing actions or divulging information that can compromise the security of the organization. Asking questions about the company's user account format and password complexity at a party is an example of social engineering, as the guest may be trying to gather information that can be used to launch a cyberattack.Reference:= Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals - Module 6: Security Incident Investigations
