Which timing template represents a parallel, normal-speed scan?

• A. -T0
• B. -T3
• C. -T1
• D. -T2

Answer: (B)

Timing templates control how fast Nmap runs and how many probes it sends in parallel. A parallel, normal-speed scan means you’re sending probes in parallel at a standard, balanced pace. In practice, this is the normal timing template, which you invoke with -T3. It hits a sweet spot: faster than the slow, cautious templates but not as loud or aggressive as the fastest option. It’s also the default when you don’t specify a timing template. The other templates push speed up or down or change parallelism, so they don’t match the described behavior as closely.
