Answer: D - Dumpster diving refers to an attack where an attacker looks through trash for clues and other confidential information, often in the form of paper scraps, to find user passwords and other pertinent information.

To prevent dumpster diving attacks, it is recommended to shred all paper, including print-outs, in a cross-cut shredder before being recycled. All storage media should be erased before being trashed.
