Explanation

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the AI discipline focused on understanding, analyzing, and interpreting human language in text. Detecting phishing emails requires analyzing linguistic patterns, semantic cues, urgency indicators, and social engineering tactics in email text - all tasks NLP is specifically designed for. LLMs (A) are a type of NLP model but are generative and better suited for producing text rather than classifying threats. NLG (C) is specifically about generating natural language output, not analyzing incoming text. RAG (D) is a technique for augmenting generation with retrieved knowledge, not a classification or detection mechanism for email threats.
