Selected Answer: B
This is brand impersonation, not typo squatting. The reason is, nobody is going to accidentally typo a zero instead of an o. However they look similar enough to make a link look benign. The answer should be B

Typosquatting involves registering domain names that are slight misspellings of popular websites, tricking users into visiting fake sites that mimic legitimate ones. Brand impersonation involves creating fraudulent websites or communications that closely resemble well-known brands to steal sensitive information.
