Which of the following involves an attacker traversing from one part of a network to another part that should be inaccessible?
The correct answer is C. VLAN hopping. VLAN hopping allows an attacker to send traffic into another VLAN without authorization, often by impersonating a switch and negotiating a trunk link. This lets the attacker traverse into normally inaccessible VLANs.
