Selected Answer: A
(100.50.20.7) on port 443. This pattern is typical of a SYN flood DDoS attack, where attackers overwhelm a server with SYN requests to deplete its resources. Simultaneous Connections: All requests occur simultaneously (01:45:09.102), suggesting a coordinated attack, which is a hallmark of DDoS attacks. DDoS is the correct answer because the logs display multiple SYN requests from different IP addresses to the same server in a short time, indicative of a SYN flood DDoS attack aimed at overwhelming the server and causing disruption.
