  C. Phishing Social engineering is a type of attack that relies on manipulating people to gain access to sensitive information or resources. Social engineering attacks can take many forms, but the most common is phishing. Phishing is a form of social engineering that uses email or other electronic communication methods to trick people into providing sensitive information or performing an action, such as clicking on a link that downloads malware. Phishing can take many forms, but the goal is always to trick people into giving up their personal information or taking actions that can compromise the security of their computer or network.

It can be delivered via social engineering but it is not the same thing as social engineering.
