IN this context only D makes sense. Believe it or not most orgs still use 125khz rfid bades, these are cloned in under a second. Tailgaiting is done on premise and doesnt fit with the context.

D is the test answer but, if you're telling me that people are leaving their badges on the desk while they leave the building, I'm calling B.S. The badge is your key to get into the building.

There's a navy seal who mentioned someone leaving a key on the table while they went to the restroom at a restaurant. He grabbed the key and pressed it hard into his skin to leave an imprint. This is the same concept, but in cybersecurity. They are in a different location, so what's the attacker going to do? Follow them back to their job to tailgate? Question is very specific that they are somewhere else. They leave their possessions unattended. Clone it.

D is the right answer. the goal is to take a picture of a badge and then user it to tailgate.

The question asks for "legitimate" access, therefore I am thinking badge cloning.

The answer is D. Following someone in presents more risk (as you've been seen) than cloning the badge and entering the building as their items are left unattended.

C - you could use a Flipper Zero or Boscloner to clone the badge? Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlncX_EtslA

they leave the badges unattended on the table in the restaurant so maybe get the badge and clone it? Not very clear where the belongings are left if you ask me

Concur, it doesn't specify where the things were left. However, you cannot tailgate items left on a table. Nor can you dumpster dive for items on a table. Because their items are left on a table, it is safe to say they are not being used, so you can't shoulder surf. Therefore, the logical answer is badge cloning these unattended items.
