  B. A spear phishing campaign is aimed at a specific person versus a group of people. Deceptive Phishing is a general term used to describe any type of phishing attack that uses deception to trick the victim into providing personal information or login credentials. It can be targeted at a large group of people, indiscriminately. Spear Phishing is a targeted type of phishing attack that is aimed at a specific individual or group of people within an organization. It is more sophisticated than a general phishing attack and often uses personal information about the target to make the email or message appear legitimate. Spear phishing is also known to target specific roles or positions, such as C-level executives within an organization. Deceptive Phishing does not hijack and manipulate the DNS server of the victim and redirect the user to a false webpage, this kind of attack is called "pharming" attack.
