Explanation

Script Kiddies (B) are inexperienced hackers who lack technical knowledge and rely on pre-written scripts, tools, or tutorials created by more skilled hackers to carry out attacks - they don't truly understand the underlying techniques they're using.

Why the others are wrong:

• Black-Hat Hackers (A) are skilled, malicious hackers who break into systems for personal gain or malicious intent - they have significant technical expertise.
• White-Hat Hackers (C) are ethical, authorized security professionals who use their skills to protect systems, often called "ethical hackers."
• Gray-Hat Hackers (D) fall between black and white hat hackers - they may break into systems without permission but typically disclose vulnerabilities rather than exploit them maliciously, and they possess real technical skill.

Memory Tip: Think of a "Script Kiddie" literally - like a kid following a script in a school play. They're just reading lines someone else wrote without truly understanding the performance. If you see words like "limited training," "basic tools," or "no real skills" in an exam question, that's your cue to select Script Kiddies.
