Selected Answer: B
Option B uses the -T2 timing option, which slows down the scan to avoid detection by limiting the connection attempts, and specifies only a few common ports. This approach is likely to stay below the threshold of 100 connections per minute, minimizing the chance of being blocked

Selected Answer: D
Wouldnt the answer be D, -F will look at the top 100 connections, therefore it wont get blocked since the system blocks when it is "more than 100 connections".

100 ports at least; that doesn't mean 100 connections.

I believe it would be way too fast. Which would be noisy and possibly be detected.
