Selected Answer: A
A. End user training Explanation: The manager identified the suspicious link by recognizing a discrepancy in the domain's URL. This ability likely comes from end-user training on phishing and other cybersecurity threats. Such training teaches employees to carefully examine links, avoid clicking on unknown or suspicious URLs, and recognize common red flags of phishing attacks.

The manager is scanning a URL. End-user training may make the practice of checking URLs more prevalent, but it is not the security practice being demonstrated.

URL Scanning is something you'd typically set up with a NGFW. It is a technology and not something a human does in the context of this subject.
