A. Phishing – Tries to steal credentials through fake emails/websites but does not intercept network traffic.

B. Dumpster diving – Involves physical security breaches, not network interception.

C. Evil twin – ✅ Correct answer. A rogue Wi-Fi AP impersonates a real network, allowing traffic interception.
