A security team installs OpenVAS on a new scanning appliance. After the initial installation, the team runs a scan against a test target but receives an error indicating that the NVTs (Network Vulnerability Tests) are not available. What is the most likely cause and the appropriate action?

The target credentials are invalid; reconfigure the target with correct SSH credentials.

The scanner service is not running; restart the openvas-scanner service.

The NVT feed has not been synchronized; run greenbone-nvt-sync or the equivalent feed update command.

The scan configuration is set to 'Discovery' only; switch to a 'Full and fast' configuration.
