D - Correct Options A and B do not directly address the goal of limiting responses to invalid email addresses. Option C focuses on limiting the number of invalid recipients per sender, which may not directly solve the problem of responses to invalid email addresses. Therefore, option D is the most appropriate choice for achieving the goal of limiting responses to invalid email addresses by configuring the LDAP server.

I disagree. "Next, configure the Mail Flow Policy to define the number of invalid recipient addresses the system will allow per sending IP address for a specific period of time. When this number is exceeded, the system will identify this condition as a DHA and send an alert message. The alert message will contain the following information:" https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/esa/esa14-0/user_guide/b_ESA_Admin_Guide_14-0/b_ESA_Admin_Guide_12_1_chapter_011011.html?bookSearch=true#con_1163450

C is Correct. In the mail flow policy associated with the listener, configure the following Directory Harvest Attack Prevention setting: -Max. Invalid Recipients Per hour. -Drop Connection if DHAP Threshold is reached within an SMTP conversation. -Max. Recipients Per Hour Code. -Max. Recipients Per Hour Text. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/esa/esa14-0/user_guide/b_ESA_Admin_Guide_14-0/b_ESA_Admin_Guide_12_1_chapter_011011.html?bookSearch=true#con_1163450
