Selected Answer: B
The correct answer is B. Nikto. B. Nikto: Nikto is a web server vulnerability scanner and is the tool that a penetration tester would most likely choose for this type of task. It can be used to scan a web server for known vulnerabilities and can detect thousands of potential security issues.

A. Nmap: Nmap is a tool that can be used to perform a port scan of a web server, but it does not provide the same level of vulnerability scanning as Nikto. C. Cain and Abel: Cain and Abel is a password recovery tool and is not the tool that a penetration tester would most likely choose for a vulnerability scan against a web server. D. Ethercap: Ethercap is a network sniffer that can be used to capture network traffic, but it is not the tool that a penetration tester would most likely choose for a vulnerability scan against a web server.
