Why each option
The Nmap command to output scan results into multiple file formats for easier review and management is '-oA output'.
-Ex is not a valid Nmap command-line option for specifying output formats.
--output is not a standard Nmap command-line option for directing output to multiple file formats.
-Ao is not a valid Nmap option for multiple output formats; '-A' enables aggressive scan options, while output options typically begin with '-o'.
The Nmap option '-oA <basename>' is specifically designed to output scan results into all three major formats-normal (.nmap), XML (.xml), and greppable (.gnmap)-using the specified basename, providing comprehensive data for review and management.
