Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

A dictionary attack is a method used to break into a password-protected computer or server by systematically entering every word in a dictionary as a password. In the context of an authentication system that uses only 4-digit numeric passwords, a dictionary attack would involve trying all possible combinations of 4-digit numbers until the correct one is found.
