Which of the following is a method for gaining unauthorized access to a computer system whereby the attacker deceives victims into disclosing personal information or convinces them to commit acts that facilitate the attacker’s intended scheme?

Revealing confidential information (like passwords, credentials), or
Performing actions (like clicking malicious links or giving unauthorized access)
that help the attacker gain unauthorized access to systems.
It relies on deception, persuasion, or trickery, not technical hacking.
