In CEH v13 Module 03: Scanning Networks, service version detection is achieved using the -sV option in Nmap.

-sV: Enables version detection of open ports by sending probes to determine the service name and version (e.g., Apache 2.4.49).

Helps identify potential vulnerabilities in specific software versions.

Option Clarification:

A. -SN: Ping scan (host discovery only).

B. -SX: Invalid/undefined option.

C. -sV: Correct option for service version detection.

D. -SF: Sends FIN packets (used in stealth scans), not for version discovery.
