Well, if I had to hack my way into the exam system to take this test, that would be a very creative approach. But Option D is probably the more appropriate one.

I'm pretty sure Option A is the right answer. Coordinated cyber attacks are the essence of penetration testing, right? Wait, that can't be right...

Haha, if this was a real cyber attack, I'd be breaking the law! Option D is clearly the way to go for a legitimate penetration test.

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