O D.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Ans is Brutforce.

DDoS: Its an attack which a hacker makes to a victim maching. In this method attacker sends lots of request at once to the victim's Server which makes the Server busy to give the response for those response. And that makes the server unavailable for other legit request.

Sniffing: Its an attack where attacker intercept the data by capturing the traffic over the network by using some sinffing tool.

BruteForce: Its a trial and error method where attacker guess the password or he/she make a list of all possible password and then he/she tries them individually by using some automations script.

Spoofing: Its an attack where attacker impersonate as another by false data and tries to gain an illegitimate advantage.

So here in the picture 3879 keys are tested before finding the correct key it gave a try to 3878 keys and found error for them . When it tried 3879th key it worked hence it's a Brutforce attack.
