A penetration tester identifies the following open ports during a network enumeration scan: Which of the following commands did the tester use to get this output?

The correct answer is B. nmap -sV 10.10.10.10. The -sV option enables version detection, which identifies open ports and associated services (like mongod, ms-rpc, rpcbind). The output shown lists ports and their services without OS detection or script outputs, matching what -sV provides.
