Sometimes it's like this site didn't even try. Piggyback is correct. Tailgating is incorrect. The way I tell the difference is that in order for someone to LITERALLY piggyback on you (not in the security sense), you have to be aware and part of the piggyback. You wouldn't successfully carry (piggyback) someone on your back without your knowledge. Tailgating however, someone could just be tippy toeing behind you without your knowledge. It is much easier to get away with following someone without them knowing than piggybacking would ever be.

The answer is: A Here is the summary of what I found when I asked ChatGPT about this. In summary, while both tailgating and piggybacking involve unauthorized access to restricted areas, tailgating relies on closely following an authorized individual, whereas piggybacking involves accompanying them directly through a secure entry point.
