Selected Answer: B
The correct answer should indeed be B: "The number of task connects in parallel overall." Option A (number of connects per target) is misleading, because -t doesn't refer to parallel connections per target specifically; it's the total number of parallel connections across all tasks.

Selected Answer: B
-t specifies the total number of threads AKA tasks. If you specify multiple targets, the number of threads stays the same

Answer is A. -t option in THC-Hydra specifies the number of parallel tasks or threads that are used for the brute force attack. This controls how many simultaneous connections Hydra will attempt to the target server.

Incorrect. If Hydra is given multiple targets, -t specifies the number of threads OVERALL not per target.
