Explanation

Fault Attacks are a security-specific test technique where testers deliberately introduce faults (e.g., invalid inputs, corrupted data, unexpected system states) to expose security vulnerabilities-making them the direct match for addressing security risks. Boundary Value Analysis (A) targets functional defects at input boundaries, not security weaknesses. Statement Testing (B) is a structural coverage metric used to measure how much code is exercised, with no inherent security focus. Use Cases (C) model normal user interactions for functional validation and are not designed to probe attack surfaces or adversarial scenarios.

Memory tip: Think "fault = attack"-security testers act like attackers by deliberately breaking things, which is exactly what Fault Attacks do. The other three options are standard functional/structural techniques that assume good-faith usage.
