A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Black box testing, a form of testing that is performed with no knowledge of a system’s internals, can be carried out to evaluate the functionality, security, performance, and other aspects of an application. Dynamic code analysis is an example of automated black box security testing.

Detailed explanation-2: -A penetration test, also known as a pen test, is a simulated cyber attack against your computer system to check for exploitable vulnerabilities. In the context of web application security, penetration testing is commonly used to augment a web application firewall (WAF).

Detailed explanation-3: -A white box penetration test is useful for simulating a targeted attack on a specific system utilising as many attack vectors as possible. In a black box penetration test, no information is provided to the tester at all.

Detailed explanation-4: -Black-box testing, also called functional testing, relies on the input/output behavior of the system. In particular, the system is subjected to external inputs, so that the corresponding outputs are used to verify the conformance of the system to the specified behavior, with no assumptions of what happens in between.
