Selected Answer: C
The correct answer is C. Brute-force attack. Aircrack-ng is a well-known tool used in the security industry for cracking Wi-Fi passwords, and the command line in the screenshot is using the tool to launch a brute-force attack against a WPA2 encrypted Wi-Fi network. The attack is using a dictionary file of common passwords to test each one until the correct one is found, which would allow an attacker to gain access to the Wi-Fi network.
