Selected Answer: A

A false negative in a vulnerability scan occurs when a scan fails to identify existing vulnerabilities. This is a significant concern because undetected vulnerabilities leave the system exposed to potential exploitation. If vulnerabilities are not detected, they cannot be addressed, leaving the organization at risk of attack

A false negative means that the vulnerability does exist on that operating system, but you're scanning software did not detect it!
