Selected Answer: A
"Partially known environment testing" refers to a type of penetration testing where the security tester has some limited knowledge about the target system or network, like basic network diagrams, partial access to documentation, or specific user credentials, but not complete details, allowing them to simulate a real-world attacker who might have gathered some initial information before launching an attack; essentially a middle ground between a "black box" (completely unknown) and "white box" (fully known) testing approach.
