Lock picking techniques are used in physical security assessments to test access control mechanisms.
Raking (Option D):
Raking is a lock-picking technique where a rake pick is inserted and rapidly moved in and out to manipulate multiple pins simultaneously.
It is faster but less precise than single-pin picking.
Used when speed is prioritized over precision.
