Exam CISSP topic 1 question 473 discussion

B. Use a compromised or obsolete system to traverse the network......pivoting is usually to traverse the network which is different from privilege escalation.

This question speaks about intent, I think if they didn't mention penetration testers the answer would be D but it is B: "Pivoting is closely related to the concept of lateral movement in cybersecurity, and the terms are often used interchangeably. However, “pivoting” is most accurately used to refer to the act of moving from host to host, while “lateral movement” also includes the act of privilege escalation (gaining access to other users and accounts) on the same machine." https://www.eccouncil.org/cybersecurity-exchange/penetration-testing/pivoting-penetration-testing/#:~:text=What%20Is%20Pivoting%20in%20cyber,%2C%E2%80%9D%20or%20%E2%80%9Cfoothold.%E2%80%9D
