What occurs with the command twistcli when scanning images?

Explanation

Option B is correct because twistcli requires both --user and --password together for authentication against the Prisma Cloud Compute Console - providing a username without a password leaves the credential pair incomplete, causing the command to fail. This is standard credential-pair enforcement common in CLI security tools.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong: options placed after the image name are still parsed and applied - twistcli does not silently drop them.
• C is wrong: --address specifies the Compute Console endpoint; if omitted, the scan fails entirely because the tool has no target to authenticate against - it does not default to scanning all images.
• D is wrong: --output-file and --details are compatible and commonly used together to write detailed scan results to a file.

Memory tip: Think of --user/--password like a door lock - the key (--user) is useless without the lock mechanism (--password). Any authentication flag pair in a security scanning tool will be mutually required.
