nmap --script default,banner,/home/user/customscripts Loads the script in the default category, the banner script, and all .nse files in the directory /home/user/customscripts. https://nmap.org/book/nse-usage.html

--script <filename>|<category>|<directory>/|<expression>[,...]

https://nmap.org/book/man-nse.html

nmap has no "--load" option. nmap --script /path/to/directory is correct

To execute an Nmap scan using custom NSE scripts stored in the folder /home/user/scripts, the penetration tester should use the command D. nmap --load /home/user/scripts 1. Option A is not a valid command for executing an Nmap scan with custom NSE scripts 1. Option B is not a valid command for executing an Nmap scan with custom NSE scripts 1. Option C is not a valid command for executing an Nmap scan with custom NSE scripts. The --script option is used to specify the name of a script or category of scripts to run, not the path to a directory containing scripts 1. Therefore, option D is the correct command for executing an Nmap scan with custom NSE scripts.
