CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 401

Answer options

• A. Executive summary
• B. Client acceptance

• D. Lessons learned

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, 'Attestation of findings', refers to the formal declaration by an independent party that confirms the results of an audit, thereby adding credibility. Options A, B, and D do not serve this purpose; an executive summary provides an overview, client acceptance relates to onboarding clients, and lessons learned pertain to insights gained from past experiences.
