Answers
D.
The network scanning activity is being blocked by a firewall.
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

When a penetration tester notices several target hosts appearing to be residential connections associated with a major television and ISP, it's likely that the IP ranges initially assigned to the target organization have changed ownership and are now allocated to the ISP for residential use. This can happen due to reallocation of IP addresses by regional internet registries. Misconfiguration of the scanner (option A), malfunctioning of scanning tools (option B), or firewall blocking (option D) would not typically result in the discovery of residential connections in place of expected organizational targets.
