Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

In this scenario, Jimmy is taking advantage of the authorized employee who is badging into the facility to gain entry without using his own credentials. This behavior is known as piggybacking, where an unauthorized person follows an authorized person into a secure area. The other options like masquerading, phishing, and whaling do not describe this physical security breach.

Piggybacking is when you enetring a organization with permition of another authorized/legitimate person, tailgating is when you do this without knowledge or without asking authorized/legitimate person. There is not better choice then piggybacking so this is a best answer
