Selected Answer: B
B. Jason should use passive reconnaissance techniques such as WHOIS lookups, NS lookups, and web research. Passive reconnaissance involves gathering information without directly interacting with the target system, minimizing the chances of detection by intrusion detection systems (IDS). WHOIS lookups, NS (Name Server) lookups, and web research are examples of passive techniques that provide valuable information about a company's public-facing servers, domain registration details, and other publicly available information without actively probing the systems.
