Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The correct matching is as follows: (i) Encryption matches with (R) Protecting the confidentiality, as encryption scrambles data to keep it private. (ii) MAC cloning matches with (P) Manipulation of identification of a host, since it involves changing the unique NIC identifier. (iii) ARP spoofing matches with (S) Poisoning the IP to MAC address mapping, which redirects traffic. (iv) Fingerprinting matches with (Q) Determining version and name of OS, as it identifies system characteristics. Note: The image labels the last item as (i), but it should be (iv). Therefore, the correct combination is i-R, ii-P, iii-S, iv-Q.
