Selected Answer: D
The correct answer is **D. Social engineering**. Social engineering can bypass even the best physical and logical security mechanisms by manipulating individuals into divulging confidential information or performing actions that compromise security. It exploits human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities, making it a potent method for gaining unauthorized access to systems.
