It's option E. Social engineering.

In computer security, Social Engineering describes a non-technical kind of intrusion that relies heavily on human interaction. It often involves tricking people into breaking their own security procedures. Basically, it's a term that is used for a wide range of malicious and suspicious activities obtained through human interactions.

Some of the examples of social engineering are phishing, pretexting, Vishing etc.
