Phishing attacks rely more on fooling the user rather than guessing passwords, so I'd say the system is most vulnerable to a dictionary attack.

What about phishing attacks? Could those also be a risk with weak passwords?

I would go with option B as well. It's important to have strong passwords to prevent dictionary attacks.

Yeah, weak passwords make it easier for hackers to guess using a pre-defined list of commonly used passwords.
