I think B) Brute Force attack could work too, but it's less likely.

Agreed! Also C) Rule based attack. Simple words are easy to guess.

Wait, are we sure "apple" is that vulnerable? Seems a bit extreme.

Brute force? Nah, that's overkill for such a simple password.

I think it could also fall for a rule-based attack.

Definitely a dictionary attack! "apple" is way too common.

Hybrid attacks combine dictionary and brute force methods, so I guess "apple" could be vulnerable to that too, but I'm not completely confident.

I feel like I've seen a practice question about rule-based attacks, and they often modify common passwords, so "apple" might be at risk there as well.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think a brute force attack could work too since it tries all combinations, right?

I remember studying that a dictionary attack uses common words, so "apple" would definitely be vulnerable to that.
