A penetration tester completed an assessment, removed all artifacts and accounts created during the test, and presented the findings to the client. Which of the following happens NEXT?

A retest is conducted after the client has implemented remediation efforts to verify that the vulnerabilities have been successfully addressed, not immediately after the initial findings presentation.

The removal of scripts and other artifacts from client machines is a post-assessment cleanup activity performed by the penetration tester, which the question states has already occurred.

Following the presentation of findings, the client's primary responsibility is to remediate the vulnerabilities identified during the assessment, with applying patches being a crucial step to fix known security flaws.

While logs might be reviewed, clearing system logs generated during the test is not the immediate or primary next step for the client; the focus should be on fixing the underlying issues.
