Correct Answer: D) Eavesdropping
] . . .
An Eavesdropping attack occurs when a hacker intercepts, deletes or modifies data that is transmitted between two devices. Eavesdropping, also known as sniffing or snooping, relies on an unsecured network communications to access the data that transmits between devices.
So if out and about and connected to an unsecure (public) network, be very careful of the data that you are sending, someone might be snooping.
