Selected Answer: D

Answer should be A only since SYN flood is a layer 3 attack. DoS attacks often leverage ARP spoofing to link multiple IP addresses with a single target's MAC address. As a result, traffic that is intended for many different IP addresses will be redirected to the target's MAC address, overloading the target with traffic.
