Answer: B
Sniffing is an attack that can be used to capture sensitive
pieces of information (password), passing through the
network. Encryption is a method of scrambling information to
prevent unauthorized individuals from understanding the
transmission. Spoofing is forging an address and inserting
it into a packet to disguise the origin of the
communication. Data destruction is erasing information or
removing it from its original location.
