Wait, is 'baiting' the one where they leave USB drives lying around filled with malware? I'm definitely not falling for that one. Talk about a sticky situation!

I'm not sure, but I think D) Pretexting could also be a possibility since it involves creating a false scenario to obtain information.

Hmm, I'm gonna go with pretexting on this one. Sounds like the attacker's trying to create a believable story to get you to spill the beans.

Phishing, for sure. That's the classic social engineering tactic. Gotta watch out for those tempting offers, they're just trying to reel you in.
