Selected Answer: A
A WHOIS domain lookup allows the penetration tester to gather information about the domain registration, including the technical contacts, registrant information, and sometimes even administrative contact details. This method does not alert the target to the tester's interest or actions, making it a passive and effective approach to gathering necessary information for a phishing campaign.
