The correct answer is 'Introduce random delays between consecutive scans'. This technique minimizes the chances of triggering query throttling mechanisms because it mimics normal user behavior instead of a scripted series of rapid requests that could raise flags about potential automated scanning activities. 'Setting scan configurations for high speed and maximum requests' is incorrect because this could easily overwhelm the application's controls, potentially triggering throttling or causing a denial of service. 'Scanning with the default rate limit' might not be effective because it doesn't take into account the specific thresholds that can trigger throttling on the target application. 'Disabling security controls before scanning' is not only unethical but often illegal and can result in severe consequences.
