   Let’s start with a simple process of elimination:
   We are after a TESTING TECHNIQUE

   A.Brute force.- This is a form of attack, not a method to test responses of software and web applications
   B. HTML encoding. (aka URL Encoding and Percent Encoding)
   • URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set.
   • Since URLs often contain characters outside the ASCII set, the URL has to be converted into a valid ASCII format.
   • URL encoding replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a “%” followed by two hexadecimal digits.
   • URLs cannot contain spaces. URL encoding normally replaces a space with a plus (+) sign or with %20.
   C.- Web crawling. A Web crawler, sometimes called a spider, is an Internet bot that systematically browses the World Wide Web, typically for the purpose of Web indexing (web spidering). – This is not a methods to test responses of software and web applications. This is not a testing technique

   Having already eliminated all the wrong answers, we are left just with the correct one:
   D.Fuzzing.
   • Fuzzing is a software testing technique that involves providing invalid, unexpected, or random data to as inputs to a computer program.
   • The program is then monitored for exceptions such as crashes, or failed validation, or memory leaks.
