Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

Nikto is an open-source dynamic analysis tool used for scanning web servers for vulnerabilities and security issues. It is widely recognized in the cybersecurity community for its ability to detect various security flaws such as outdated software, security misconfigurations, and potential exploits. On the other hand, Nessus and Qualys are popular vulnerability scanning tools, but they are not open-source; they are commercial tools. HCL App Scan is also a commercial tool for dynamic analysis, not open-source. Nikto's open-source nature makes it accessible and customizable for security professionals and researchers.
