"A port scanner is an application designed to probe a server or host for open ports. Such an application may be used by administrators to verify security policies of their networks and by attackers to identify network services running on a host and exploit vulnerabilities." source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_scanner So B is the correct answer
