Answer options

• A. SPI
• B. Distributive firewall
• C. Honey Pot
• D. Internet bot

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection), which helps identify and block malicious traffic patterns associated with DOS attacks. The other options, such as a Distributive firewall, Honey Pot, and Internet bot, may provide some level of security but are not specifically designed to counteract DOS attacks as effectively as SPI.
