Explanation

Steganography is the practice of concealing data within another non-secret file or medium - such as an image, audio file, or document - so the existence of the hidden message is not apparent. Unlike cryptography, which scrambles data to make it unreadable, steganography hides the fact that a message exists at all. The other options are unrelated: cryptanalysis is the science of breaking encryption, spoofing is impersonating a legitimate entity (e.g., IP or MAC spoofing), and packet sniffing is capturing network traffic to inspect its contents.
