Spoofing? What, like pretending to be someone else's computer? Nope, this is definitely about checking your own files, not impersonating others.

Reconnaissance? Nah, that's more about gathering information about a target, not verifying file integrity. Gotta be option B.

Shoulder surfing? Really? That's just watching someone type their password, not auditing file hashes. Come on, this one's too easy.

I think file integrity auditing is the process of comparing hash functions to ensure system executables and configuration files haven't been tampered with. Seems like the most relevant option here.

I'm not sure, but I think it's important to verify the integrity of files to detect any unauthorized changes.

I agree with Lorenza, because it makes sense to compare hash functions for system files.
