I had been asked this question in an international level competition.

This question is from Attack Vectors topic in division Understanding Attack Vectors of Cyber Security

Answer 1

The correct answer is (d) Vishing

For explanation I would say: Phishers often develop illegitimate websites for tricking users & filling their personal data. Vishing refers to phishing performed over smart-phone by calling. As the phishing is done through voice so it is called vishing = voice + phishing.
