Answers
D.

Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

The most likely explanation for what occurred is that the tester IP was blocked by the web server. The web server may have detected the web scanner as a malicious or suspicious activity and blocked the tester's IP address from accessing the web application. This could result in an unauthorized to view this page message in the browser.
