The type of attack being described where the attacker has access to both plaintext and ciphertext and can choose which messages to encrypt is known as a **Chosen-Plaintext** attack.
In this scenario, the attacker can select specific plaintext messages to be encrypted to gather information that may help them compromise the encryption scheme.
So the correct answer is **Chosen-Plaintext**.
