a removing data.
b linking access codes.

d looking for access into a computer.

Explanation:

Port scanning is a technique used to identify open ports on a computer. Open ports can potentially be used to gain access into the computer. Option A (removing data) is not related to port scanning. Option B (linking access codes) is also not the function of port scanning. Option C (scanning for a portable computer using a wireless system) is not the correct definition. Port scanning is mainly about looking for ways (through open ports) to access a computer.

Answer:

D. looking for access into a computer.
