I'm going with B. Discovery. They're trying to find out information about the system, even if it's through a brute force attack. Credential access is too specific, in my opinion.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Brute force attacks could also fall under Discovery, since they're trying to gain information about the system. Tough call.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be A) Defense evasion because the attacker is trying to bypass security measures.
