This is a phishing scheme if anything. The security "program" in place is User Awareness. Granted, it's not good awareness, but it is up to the user to protect themselves against the attack.

I knew the answer to this even tho I never read anywhere about it. However the company I work for does that exact same thing and we catch many ppl clicking and giving away passwords and user names. If a user fails we make them take a short training video with a quez at the end.

To me, they don't specify the email was sent by a program, like KnowBe4, in the question. They made it seem like it was sent by a person, so to me that's why I chose Social Engineering. If it was sent by a program, then yes User Awareness is the correct answer.

If the email was sent by the employees company, but it was a trick, this a USER AWARENESS program. pretty messed up for the security company to send an email with malicious code LOL. A is the correct answer.

It took me a while to understand that de webpage reports: "it was safe, but the link could have contained malicious code." So the user was informed that the link could contain malicious code -> Answer A.
