http-methods - Finds out what options are supported by an HTTP server by sending an OPTIONS request. http-enum - Enumerates directories used by popular web applications and servers. http-headers - Performs a HEAD request for the root folder ("/") of a web server and displays the HTTP headers returned. http-git - Checks for a Git repository found in a website's document root (/.git/<something>) and retrieves as much repo information as possible.

Selected Answer: A

The Nmap script http-methods is used to detect the available HTTP methods supported by a web server. This script can help identify which methods, such as GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, are supported by the target web server. This information can be useful for understanding the attack surface of the web server and potential vulnerabilities.
