Sorry guys. On second thought, the primary technique seems more like A. Impersonation, as rummaging bins is just one of the activities Ralph does. The primary way he gained access to the terminals is by masquerading. So, A. Impersonation seems the correct answer.

Read the question carefully, it's asking what type of attacked was used on JANE. It didn't ask how the attacker collected information about Jane's company.
