Answer: A. passive attacks

Step-by-step explanation:

Passive attack is a type of attack where by a system is tracked and scanned to determine how vulnerable it is and to also detect open port. The major purpose of a passive attack on a network is to gain access to the information of the target without altering the data.

A passive attack on a network may not be necessarily malicious, it is a type of network attack that is very difficult to detect.

Methods of carrying out passive attacks.

•War driving: scanning of networks is carried out to detect Wi-Fi that are vulnerable.

•Dumpster driving: Attackers or intruders search for information from discarded computers and

other gadgets, those information can help to attack a network.
