Selected Answer: C
To mitigate the directory traversal attack, implementing a WAF (Web Application Firewall) is a good approach. A WAF can inspect and filter incoming HTTP requests, blocking requests that contain suspicious or malicious patterns like "../" which are used in directory traversal attacks. By doing so, the WAF helps protect the web server from unauthorized access to sensitive files outside the web server's intended directory structure.
