Correct answer: B
Explanation
Correct Answer: B. sniffing through hub Explanation: Passive sniffing is the process of monitoring and capturing network traffic without actively injecting any traffic into the network. Sniffing through a hub can be considered as passive sniffing, as the hub broadcasts all traffic received on one port to all other ports, allowing any device connected to the hub to capture and analyze network traffic.Discussion
