D.
Crawling the company's website for company information
Answers
D.
Crawling the company's website for company information
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Scraping social media for personal details can help a penetration tester craft personalized and convincing social engineering attacks against top-level executives, who may share sensitive or confidential information on their profiles. Registering domain names that are similar to the target company's can be used for phishing or typosquatting attacks, but not specifically against executives. Identifying technical contacts at the company can help with reconnaissance, but not with social engineering. Crawling the company's website for company information can provide general background knowledge, but not specific details about executives.
