I'm a little confused by this question. Is social engineering about the organization planning a community welfare activity? That doesn't seem quite right. I'll have to review my notes before deciding.

I'm pretty confident I know what social engineering is - it's about manipulating people to gain confidential information, right? I'll select option B.

Okay, I remember learning about social engineering in class. It's when someone tries to trick you into giving up sensitive information, not just planning a social event. I'll go with option B.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully compare the equipment accounting for AB and CD to determine which ratios would be reliably comparable.
