I'm not sure, but I think D) A simulated cyber attack to check for exploitable vulnerabilities also makes sense.

I agree with Lenna, because penetration testing is about finding vulnerabilities in a controlled manner.

I think Option B is the best choice. Penetration testing is a planned and coordinated effort to identify actionable vulnerabilities, not just simulated ones.

Option D seems the most accurate description of penetration testing. It's a simulated cyber attack to identify exploitable vulnerabilities, not a real attack.
