Passive reconnaissance involves gathering information without directly interacting with the target. WHOIS, search engines, and social media are all passive techniques highlighted in CEH v13 Reconnaissance.
Nmap scanning, however, actively probes target systems and generates traffic that can be logged and detected. This makes it an active reconnaissance technique.
Therefore, Option D is least useful in a passive phase.
