Probably B? - "Pretexting is another form of social engineering where attackers focus on creating a good pretext, or a fabricated scenario, that they use to try and steal their victims’ personal information. In these types of attacks, the scammer usually says they need certain bits of information from their target to confirm their identity. In actuality, they steal that data and use it to commit identity theft or stage secondary attacks." https://www.tripwire.com/state-of-security/security-awareness/5-social-engineering-attacks-to-watch-out-for/

B.A pretext is a fabricated scenario that a social engineer uses in order to create a condition in which the target is more comfortable or able to comply with the goals of the social engineer. This may include a false identity, falsehoods about circumstances, or other details that are designed to facilitate the social engineering attack. Pretexting is the process of establishing and using a pretext during social engineering. This is often used to describe the process of impersonation
