The most likely option based on the given information is piggybacking, which refers to someone following closely behind an authorized person to gain entry into a secure area without proper credentials. The delivery person may not have been authorized to enter the company premises, but was able to do so by following closely behind the OP. The other options (typosquatting, posing, spoofing) do not apply to this situation.
