Answer 1

Right choice is (d) what type of antivirus is in use

Easy explanation: Network Mapper (Nmap) is a popular open-source tool used for discovering network as well as security auditing. It usually checks for different services used by the host, what operating system it is running and the type of firewall it is using.
