Answer options

• A. Perform an Xmas scan
• B. Perform an eXpress scan
• C. Output the results in truncated format to the screen
• D. Output the results in XML format to a file

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The 'oX' flag in Nmap is specifically used to output scan results in XML format, which is useful for further processing or integration with other tools. The other options describe different types of scans or output formats that do not relate to the 'oX' flag, making them incorrect in this context.
