Answer: D

Explanation:

Nmap is basically mapping a network. The purpose of lateral pivoting is to gain a new perspective, or new information that will allow you to either privilege escalate, or to achieve the goal of the attack. If the compromised server the pen tester is exploiting has nmap enabled, the pen tester will be able to get an in-depth inside view of the internal network structure.
