Selected Answer: D
RF (Radio Frequency) jamming attacks interfere with wireless communications by flooding the airwaves with noise, disrupting legitimate transmissions. RF jamming attacks can target layer 2 protocols in wireless networks.

Answer should be A only since SYN flood is a layer 3 attack. DoS attacks often leverage ARP spoofing to link multiple IP addresses with a single target's MAC address. As a result, traffic that is intended for many different IP addresses will be redirected to the target's MAC address, overloading the target with traffic.
